Huang Laohan drank the dog and said to the nondescript Cao Liar: "Cao Erlang, do you want to buy tofu?" ”

Cao Gaoyang, the name of Cao Liar, pointed at the Huang family's dog with a folding fan in his hand at this time, guarding against dog bites, and pouted: "Hey, what kind of tofu to buy-hey, Lao Huang, how did you think about what I said last time, as long as you agree, I will call you a father, after you two old two legs kick back to the sky, I am the filial son of your Huang family, wearing linen and filial piety, sealing the coffin and burying it are indispensable, and Qingming will also burn paper money for you every year, and will never let you grow old into a lonely ghost with no sacrifice, how about marrying Luo Xishi to me?" ”

Huang Laohan was so angry that he "hummed", this is a curse for his old couple to die early, and he is wearing linen and filial piety, and he is a lonely ghost, how uncomfortable he is, he said angrily: "Cao Erlang, Hugh is crooked, you are a person with a wife." ”

Daoist Yu Xuan, who was standing behind Huang Laohan, said angrily: "Cao Liar, don't talk about it, go quickly, it's none of your business here." ”

Cao Gaoyang squinted at this green-robed Taoist priest, a little familiar, and asked, "Where are you a Taoist priest, so rude, do you know who I am?" ”

Huang Laohan hurriedly said: "Cao Erlang, this is the son-in-law." Afraid that Cao Lizi wouldn't understand, he added: "It's Luo's husband." ”

"Ahh Cao Gaoyang jumped back, took two steps back, and looked Daoist Yu Xuan up and down with bare eyes.

Daoist Yu Xuan heard Huang Laohan declare that he was Luo Xixi's husband, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show joy on the surface, staring at the Cao lie with a calm face.

"I almost thought hell!" Cao Gaoyang shouted: "Strange things, this Taoist priest is your son-in-law, Luo Xishi is your daughter-in-law, son-in-law and daughter-in-law, what's going on?" ”

At this time, the neighbors gathered to watch the excitement, and Cao Gaoyang shouted louder, he was the best at coaxing and profiting from the chaos.

Huang Laohan explained: "My old couple has regarded their daughter-in-law Luo as a daughter, and now they just want to recruit a son-in-law to support my old couple for the rest of their lives." ”

Cao Gaoyang said loudly: "Lao Huang, your son's bones are not cold, you are in a hurry to recruit a son-in-law for your daughter-in-law, you have also done such a thing that violates morals and customs, I want to sue the official, I want to sue the official." ”

Huang Laohan blushed and argued: "Where to recruit a son-in-law, there is just such a mention, and the period of filial piety will be full next month." ”

Cao Gaoyang pointed at Taoist priest Yu Xuan and said to Huang Laohan: "Hugh has to quibble, you call this Taoist priest a son-in-law, but I can hear it clearly." ”

Taoist Yu Xuan roared: "Cao Liar, I have agreed with Father Huang to join the Huang family, just wait for the Luo family to marry me, with courtesy and affection, righteous and bright, what are you doing with this liar, don't provoke me, otherwise I will break your dog's legs." Stepping forward, Huang Laohan hurriedly dragged it and said in a low voice: "Don't be like this liar, just think of him as a fart." ”

Cao Gaoyang was already furious, and shouted with a stiff neck: "Where did the wild Taoist priest come from, do you know who I am!" You know who I am! ”

Daoist Yu Xuan sneered: "Don't I know that you are a famous liar, and it is very glorious to send your sister to be a furnace?" ”

Some of the neighbors laughed, and some didn't dare to laugh, this is exposing the shortcomings of real people, this Taoist priest is not small-

Cao Gaoyang jumped like thunder, looking left and right, trying to find an artifact to fight, while shouting: "If you dare to go to the door of the Dazhen Mansion and say this, I will kowtow to you." ”

Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi stood by the door for a long time, and then Zeng Yu said, "Who is spreading wild here?" "This is to divert the topic, Taoist Yu Xuan should have lost his words.

Huang Laohan hurriedly said: "The two showmen are here, and the two showmen are commenting on each other, this Cao Erlang came to the door to make noise for no reason, and the old man didn't offend him." ”

Zheng Shi pointed at Cao Gaoyang and said, "Cao Liar, the two of us are drinking upstairs with Daddy Huang, what are you making noise." ”

Xiucai spoke, the neighbors were silent, and Cao Gaoyang was also shocked for a while.

——Jiajing Dynasty when the number of students to study is also more strictly controlled, in addition to the students of the school only enlarged students, not compared to Wanli, there are attached students in addition to the students, there is no quota limit for the attached students, the number of students admitted in each academy is several times that of the students and the number of students, and the students are a bit indiscriminate, and the Confucianism style of the Jiajing Dynasty is quite rigorous, and the instructors can control the students, not like the students after Wanli who are often noisy and invade the people, so the students at this time are still very prestigious in the eyes of the ordinary people. wrote: "Seeing the fathers and elders in Luzhong, the small people in the Lu, drinking at the same table, laughing and talking, seeing a show of talent, then the mouth is relaxed, but the words of the show are listening; Xiucai is in the city, and the people in the two alleys all pay attention to it, saying that this is a certain fasting chief, and the people are so important-".

Cao Gaoyang came to his senses and said, "I only reasoned about things, how could I have been unreasonable, this wild Taoist priest-"

"What a wild Taoist." Zheng Shi shouted: "This is my friend, he wants to return to the Huang family, and the two of us will come to drink the wedding wine." Then he waved to his neighbors and said, "All the fathers and neighbors will also come together to be lively and lively. ”

The neighbors returned the salute one after another: "It must be certain, it must come to congratulate." ”

Look at Cao Gaoyang again, he has disappeared, everyone laughed and scolded Cao Liar's slipping away fast, gossiping that Cao Liar's promiscuity was promiscuous, and when he saw a slightly beautiful woman, he thought about hooking up, which was a harm to Shangqing Street, and now he sent his sister to the Dazhen Mansion, thinking that he had climbed the high branches, and he became more and more wild-

After talking for a while, they dispersed, Huang Laohan invited the two Zheng Shi and Zeng Yu to drink again, both of them said that they were full of wine and food, and Taoist Yu Xuan said: "In this way, then Xiaodao will accompany the two ministers to the Shangqing Palace to have a good time." ”

Huang Laohan advised: "The two talented men are together, they will rest the night in the old man's wooden building today, and you can't go back to Yingtanfang today." ”

Taoist Yu Xuan accompanied Zheng Shi and Zeng Yu through the long Shangqing Street, Shangqing Palace is in the east, Dazhenfu is in the west, three miles away, Dazhenfu is Zhang Zhenren's living place, idlers can not enter, Shangqing Palace is Zhang Zhenren's place of cultivation and Jiao, in addition to the Dajiao ritual with the participation of court members to clear idlers, the rest of the time the people can feel free to enter the incense and rejoice-

Taoist priest Yu Xuan was a little depressed about Cao Liar's matter, Zheng Shi comforted him and said: "Brother Yu Xuan, why worry about such a trivial matter, where is there no such ruffian, just drive away, no matter how ridiculous Zhang Zhenren is, he will not stand up for such a villain, it is just a fox and a fake tiger." ”

Zeng Yu said: "It seems that this villain has to be on guard. ”

Taoist priest Yu Xuan said fiercely: "Don't let him commit a crime in my hands, I will definitely call him a knife and two pieces." ”

Zheng Shi said with a smile: "I really don't see that the Taoist has such fire, Samadhi is really hot?" By the way, Jiu Li, don't you know swordsmanship, you can learn from the Taoist, Yuxuan Taoist swordsmanship is quite good, and I have accompanied Zhang Zhenren to practice swordsmanship before. ”

Taoist Yu Xuan said: "That was a few years ago, and Zhang Zhenren's swordsmanship now far surpasses mine. When he said this, he touched his left flank and said with a wry smile: "It is not easy to accompany Zhang Zhenren to practice swords, Zhang Zhenren is fighting wantonly, how dare my generation hurt him a cold hair, the sword five years ago almost killed Xiaodao." He said to Zeng Yu again: "When Zeng Gongzi jumped ashore from the bamboo raft before, he saw that Zeng Gongzi had martial arts, and Zeng Gongzi was both civil and military." ”

Zeng Yu said with a smile: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I have time to ask Brother Yuxuan for advice." ”

Zheng Shi asked the man: "How can I see that the nine carps have martial arts and I don't, and I also jumped ashore like the nine carps?" ”

Yu Xuandao said with a smile: "Without him, just two words, light and steady." ”

Talking to the Shangqing Palace, but seeing the palace layered on top of each other, magnificent, Taoist Yu Xuan said that the Shangqing Palace was rebuilt in the last years of Zhengde, the existing eight halls and twenty-four courtyards, is the world's first avenue palace, led Zheng Shi and Zeng Yu to enter from the blessed land gate, visit the Jade Emperor Palace, Houtu Hall -

A Taoist priest in front of the Houtu Hall saw Yu Xuan and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Yu Xuan, Master is looking for you." ”

Zheng Shi knew that the master of Yu Xuan Dao was the supervisor of the Shangqing Palace, and he had a bit of status, so he said: "Brother Yu Xuan Dao hurry up, I don't need you to accompany me, and we will see you again at Daddy Huang's place later." ”

Yu Xuandao said: "There are many palaces, and I can't finish it in half a day, there is the Wenchang Palace, and after the Sanguan Palace, the two ministers must go to worship and worship, and the trail will come as soon as possible if there is nothing to do." He confessed and hurried away.

Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi bypassed the Sanguan Palace, but saw Gu Bai Sensen, Wenchang Hall was hidden in the meantime, the two entered the main hall to pay homage to Emperor Wenchang, Emperor Wenchang is the god of culture and education, and the Confucian saints have to stand aside, the statue of Emperor Wenchang of this hall is graceful and wise, sitting down and driving a white donkey, accompanied by two children who are deaf and dumb on the ground, it is said that these two chapters are chosen as escorts to avoid leaking the examination questions of the imperial examination-

Zheng Shi and Zeng Yu gave a penny of silver incense to the Taoist priest who served the incense, and the Taoist priest said: "Two ministers, there is a bamboo couch in this side hall for a rest, if there is a blessing, you can get the emperor's dream, and the exam questions for next year's township examination are among them, of course, the dream is obscure, relying on their own understanding." ”

Zheng Shi drank a few more glasses at noon, and was tired in the morning, so he wanted to find a place to sleep, and when he heard the Taoist priest say this, he was very happy, so he asked the Taoist priest to guide the way, but the Taoist priest said: "The emperor's dream is not trivial, and the two of them have to give a penny of incense and silver." ”

Zeng Yu smiled: "I don't sleep, I can't sleep, even if the emperor wants to give me dreams, I won't be blessed." ”

After Zheng Shi entered school, his home was obviously much more generous, and he was more generous, so he immediately gave the Taoist priest a penny of silver, and smiled at Zeng Yu: "Jiu Li, you wait, if the emperor gives a dream, I will tell you." ”

The Taoist priest hurriedly said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, if you say it to others, it will not work—or will this minister go to sleep together?" ”

Zeng Yu smiled and said: "No need, three idiot brothers, go to dream, I will look around in this palace, and I will look for you in half an hour." ”
