Licheng, as the name suggests, is a place where carp is abundant, and there are many folklore.

Ling Ruoyi and his entourage came to a restaurant for dinner first, and happened to hear the storyteller telling a story about a carp repaying his kindness, and some people who listened to the story scoffed and some burst into tears.

The story tells that in ancient times, in a remote mountain village, there lived a rich family and many poor people, once, the master asked the long-term worker of the family to kill a carp, if you can't do it well, don't think about receiving wages, the long-term worker was shocked. He hurried to the edge of the pond, took his knife and touched the carp's tail lightly, and a little blood flowed. Suddenly, the carp burst into tears.

Changgong wondered, how could the carp shed tears? Then the carp said to the poor man with tears in his eyes: "You are good, let me go, I will never forget your kindness, I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity, I beg you." The poor man saw that the carp was pitiful, and let it go. When the rich man found out, he threw out the long-term worker and did not give him a penny. Long-term workers had nowhere to go, so they had to build a straw hut and fish for a living.

On a thunderstormy night, Changgong was having dinner when a young girl suddenly walked in and said to him, "Can I stay here for the night?" The chief worker replied, "If you don't like the simplicity of this place, I'll give you my bed to sleep in." After saying that, the girl rested, and in the middle of the night the girl felt very cold, so she asked the long-term worker to sleep on the bed, but the long-term worker refused. The girl said, "It's okay, I'm the carp I was back then, and I'm here to repay the favor." With a wave of her hand, the straw shed suddenly turned into a splendid house. Later, they got married and had a chubby son for nothing.

After listening to the story, Mu'er and the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter have all become tearful people, Ling Ruoyi smiled lightly and looked at a few of them. I secretly thought in my heart, I have heard Grimm's fairy tales in modern times, and there is also a story of "The Fisherman and the Goldfish", what if they listen to Mu'er?

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Mu Er sobbed while wiping away her tears with a handkerchief.

"Nothing, just think about where we need to start investigating."

"Well, miss, you must not have heard the story of Fang Cai, the carp girl knows how to repay the kindness, it is really touching." Mu'er said with tears in her eyes.

"Hehe, in fact, your young lady also knows the story of two carps repaying their kindness." Ling Ruoyi smiled lightly.

Hearing this, it aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all had an expression of wide-eyed waiting to hear the story.

Ling Ruoxuan smiled lightly: "Do you know Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone? ”

"I know, my sister once gave me a piece, and I still use it at home." Ling Yunfei said with a wink. He was very strange, why did his sister mention this Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone, although it is very famous, but what does this have to do with the story of carp repaying kindness.

Looking at everyone's blank expressions, Ling Ruoyi no longer sold Guanzi, and then said lightly, "Every March, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the carp of all rivers in the lower reaches of the Yellow River gather at the foot of Longmen Mountain, waiting for the spring flood tide to rise, fly over the dragon gate, and turn into a dragon to ascend to heaven. One year, the carp essence of the Fen River swam to the dragon gate to meet the carp that gathered from all over the place, waiting for the tide to jump over the dragon gate.

The carp of different sizes are the first time to come to Longmen Mountain, seeing the mountain broken and the river out, the waves are like thunder, the mountains on both sides of the river, the cliffs are steep, they are very frightened, they all say: "How to jump the mountain and the water is urgent?" ”

"If you can't jump, you'll fall to your death!" No one knows what to do.

It was a big red carp that was seven feet long and said, "Let me try it first." As he spoke, he quickly flew back half a mile away, mustered up his courage, flapped his wings and flew to the foot of Longmen Mountain, jumped into the clouds in the middle of the mountain, and drove the clouds, rain, thunder and lightning in the blink of an eye, rolling forward. A celestial fire came from behind and burned his tail. He endured the pain, jumped into the sky three times, and finally jumped over Longmen Mountain. ”

"And what about later? Have they all ascended to Jackie Chan? Mu'er couldn't wait.

"Mu'er, don't interrupt Miss." Mengchun said angrily.

"Okay, okay, people are also anxious."

At this time, Ling Ruoyi continued to speak slowly, "Just as the carp were hesitating, there was a thunderclap, and a red dragon opened its teeth and danced its claws, and the clouds and rain came. The carp didn't know what to do. Suddenly, I heard the red dragon say: "I'm a big red carp, don't panic, skip the dragon gate, and you can ascend to heaven and become a dragon with a vermilion dot." Guys, jump, jump. ”

Under the encouragement of the big red carp, many carp followed the example of the big red carp and struggled to jump. However, there are very few people who jump over the dragon gate, and those who can't jump over have a black scar on their foreheads. The Fenhe carp essence is the one that did not jump the dragon gate this time. He returned to the Fen River listlessly, passed by the ground of Jiangzhou, thought about it, turned into a chic talent, and went to the old master who ran his own private school on the bank of the Fen River, and studied the scriptures hard.

The old master who set up an account and taught apprentices lived an extremely difficult life. While teaching, he took mud from the Fen River to make pottery inkstones, and made a living with these two incomes. The carp spirit studied hard under the master's door for more than a year, accompanied the teacher all day long, and thought of himself from the teacher's life: the three dragon gates were not enough, and the hope of becoming a dragon was shattered; After ten years of hard work and hard work, it is still uncertain whether the title of the gold list can be made. After thinking about it, it is better to devote yourself to the red furnace and repay the teacher, which is still dedicated.

On this day, he accompanied the teacher to work in the inkstone room for three days and three nights, and jumped into the kiln while the teacher was napping. In an instant, the raging fire turned colorful and wonderful.

The old master woke up and didn't see the students around him, which was very strange. When he opened the kiln door, he saw that the kiln was full of pottery, crystal exquisite. Developed out of the kiln, most of them are eel roe, crab shell green, shrimp head red, bean paste green, all of which are high-quality products. Since then, "Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone" has become famous. ”

"It turns out that this is how Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone came from." Condor was surprised.

"You are stupid, Miss Ling said that this is a legend, why do you take it seriously." The Eagle rolled his eyes and said.

"You even dare to make fun of your eldest brother, do you have a younger brother like this?" The Condor can't slip away from the Flying Eagle, so he will move out of his brother's identity to suppress him.

It is also strange to say, if the two brothers could not see their similarities from their appearance, they really would never have imagined that there would be such a pair of brothers, these two people happen to complement each other in personality, one is acute, the other is chronic, one is steady, and the other is flexible.

"You, if you can't talk about me, just use your brother's identity to press me, don't forget, you were only born a few minutes earlier than me." Flying Eagle said defiantly.

"Stinky boy, I'll clean you up when I get back, now...... Not the time. The Condor turned his head and pouted.

Seeing the two bickering like this, Ling Ruoyi secretly thought in her heart, it seemed that she would not be bored along the way, thinking about how King Qi had chosen such a pair of living treasures to train into a master of the inner guards.

"This girl is very knowledgeable." An evil male voice sounded, and he looked up, isn't this Jia Fugui, the man in Tsing Yi he met at the inn before.

"This son, this place is full, you better change to another seat." Ling Yunfei said.

His sister is already married, why are these bees still chasing after her, it's really annoying, before going out, the prince's brother-in-law is a thousand instructions, you must take care of your sister, don't let other men approach her. Otherwise, if you go back this time, how can you explain it to the prince's brother-in-law.

"This son, this is only the second time I have met you, why is the hatred so deep as the sea." Jia Fugui did not hesitate to give way.

"Although it's the second time we met, my son has hated you very much since I saw you for the first time, oh, no, it's hundred, ten, ten thousand, ten thousand hate." Ling Yunfei crossed his hands on his hips, like a shrew in the market.

This kind of appearance, not to mention that Mu'er and the others have never seen it, even Ling Ruoyi, who is an older sister, is the first time to see him like this. And the Condor and Flying Eagle on the side had already withdrawn from the fun of bickering, staring at this Jia Fugui vigilantly.

Hearing this, Jia Fugui also crossed his waist and shouted with Ling Yunfei: "Hey, I said that you are a person, why are you so rude, you and I are both readers, why don't you even have a little bit of a scholar." ”

"You are also worthy of being a reader, no matter how good the book is, it has to be read crookedly in your mouth." Ling Yunfei blurted out the words, and the teasing Mu'er took a sip of tea and sprayed it directly on Jia Fugui's body.

Seeing this, Ling Ruoyi couldn't help laughing, it was really close to Zhu who was red and close to ink was black, when did Yun Fei learn King Qi's dead face.

Jia Fugui saw Ling Ruoyi smiling, and suddenly lost interest in arguing with Ling Yunfei, looking at the smile of a beauty must be more enjoyable than arguing with a stinky man.

......, stinky man, it seems that even he has been scolded. No matter what, a stinky man is a stinky man, how can you be a man if you don't stink.

"The girl laughs so beautifully, like a fairy." Jia Fugui praised without hesitation.

"Cut, my young lady is already beautiful, and she still needs you to say it." Mengchun glanced at Jia Fugui and said coldly.

"Hehe, it's me who is abrupt, I should fight, I should fight." After all, he made it look like he was going to slap himself in the mouth. Unexpectedly, Ling Ruoyi drank tea with a teacup by herself, not paying attention to any of his movements, expressions, and words, to be precise, ignoring him, and treating him as transparent at all.

"Okay, okay, you go quickly, don't pester my sister anymore, my sister is already married." Ling Yunfei drove Jia Fugui Dao.

Hearing this, Jia Fugui jumped to his feet and said, "Married?" I don't believe it, I married someone who is not at home and has a good husband and children, but I go out and show my face. It must have been to make me die. ”

"Whatever you think, we don't have time to dwell on you." After finishing speaking, Ling Yunfei called Xiao Er to prepare to settle the bill, and Jia Fugui also took out the purse in his arms and prepared to pay.

Ling Yunfei had an idea, and with an evil smile, Ling Ruoyi knew that this Jia Fugui was going to be unlucky. As expected, just listening, Ling Yunfei said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, this Jia Fugui, Jia Gongzi said, he has a treat today, everyone can eat whatever they want, Xiao Er, it's not good to drink and eat well." ”

When everyone heard this, they first thanked today's big high-rollers, and then began to add wine and food, the shopkeeper was busy with his feet on the ground, and the shopkeeper couldn't close his mouth happily, and Jia Fugui was naturally empty, and he was openly blackmailed by Ling Yunfei.

Jia Fugui watched coldly as the group got into the carriage again and went to the inn in front of him, with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth......
