The city lord of Weiyang City originally wanted to take time to go to Wu's house on the eve of the Buddha's birthday. However, he was so busy that he did not get out of the heavy work until the evening of the day before the Buddha's Birthday.

The Imperial Mansion is an institution dedicated to serving the daily meals of the lord of the castle.

Zeng Gong, the steward of the Imperial Mansion, arrived at the main hall where the city lord was located early in the evening, because the entire Weiyang City had begun to be filled with rain and mist, and the sky was gradually darkening.

"City Lord, there is a light rain in the city, and the sky is dark, so you can eat early today." Zeng Gong went up to the front of the temple and said to the lord of the city.

"I was in charge, but I didn't expect this day to pass so quietly, and I didn't know that it was raining outside."

"Yes, city lord, the climate of Weiyang Mountain is changeable every day, and the sun is still shining at noon, so I didn't expect it to be shrouded in rain and fog in the evening."

"Steward, you can go down, I really don't have an appetite today, and I don't have to bother with dinner." As soon as the city lord was idle, he was still thinking about Zhu Zhen that Guo Jingqi met on his birthday, and he missed his daughter who had passed away more than ten years ago.

An empty stomach, no appetite, physical and mental exhaustion, is the final chapter of longing.

"This, city lord, you have overworked for the people of Weiyang Mountain, don't hurt your body. I think I'd better make you some nourishing soup. ”

"No need, Zeng is in charge, you can go back, by the way, I called Cao Wen and Cao Wu from outside the palace, I have something to order." This steward retreated steadily, and by the way, he called Cao Wen and Cao Wu over.

Cao Wen and Cao Wu are the personal attendants of the city lord, and Guo Jingqi's birthday on that day was accompanied by these two people, and the city lord valued and trusted these two people. The two brothers Cao Wen and Cao Wu are both outstanding people in Weiyang City. Of course, he is also obedient to the city lord, and he is always at the mercy of instructions.

"City Lord, what's the matter with calling our brothers so late?" Cao Wen stood in front of the hall and asked the city lord for instructions, and Cao Wu stood beside Cao Wen in high spirits, looking at the city lord without speaking.

"Cao Wen and Cao Wu, now pack your bags and follow me out of Weiyang City." The lord of the city said and walked over from the desk.

"Out of town? The city lord was so late and it was raining, but he didn't dare to act rashly. ”

"Then why not? With the two of you, am I still not at ease? The city lord's eyes were bright, and he looked at these two people very seriously.

"So, what are you doing when you go out of town?" Cao Wen asked.

"Tomorrow is the Buddha's Birthday, and I will participate in the Buddha's Birthday as a celebrant in the morning, and the supervising doctor will notify Yu Qing, the presiding officer of Hantan Temple, in advance."

"So, why didn't you send a carriage a while ago?"

"This trip to participate in the Buddha's Birthday, I don't want to make a big show, and by the way, I can do some private things, and it is also convenient to act."

"In that case, let's pack some of the necessary travel necessities."

"Cao Wen and Cao Wu, remember, travel in simple clothes, maybe I'll be back in a day or two."

"Yes, city lord, comply." The two of them went back to their lodgings, packed some of their bags a little, and then followed the lord out of the city.

The city lord, Cao Wen and Cao Wu put on a cloak and followed the road out of the city to the north, and after walking for a long time, they came to the market outside Weiyang City.

The market at night was shrouded in rain and fog, and there was no one on the road except for the three of them. Occasionally, there are a few places where the lights are lit, and they are probably the store's own premises.

"City Lord, there are not many decent inns outside this Weiyang City, you see, can we barely accommodate it? Just find a place to live. ”

"Okay, Cao Wen, let's walk around the market again, and see which inn is still open, and we'll go in and rest." As he was talking, he saw a man riding a big horse galloping in the distance, that person was Wu Zun, and the muddy water splashed by the galloping horse sprinkled the three of them.

Cao Wu roared angrily, "Which beast with no long eyes is so rampant in Weiyang Mountain? ”

Although Wu Zun heard this person's yelling, he didn't stop, he looked back at the three people, and then whipped his whip and rushed over.

"This man is somewhat familiar." The lord of the city slapped the mud on his shoes and bowed his head and said. "Do you have any impressions?" Cao Wen and Cao Wu both shook their heads, "No." ”

"Alright then, I just can't remember it for a while." The scene of these three people being splashed with muddy water by a galloping horse happened to be seen by the tailor Shi Xiangyun Shi who opened the window to let in the wind.

Shi Xiangyun was on the second floor of the tailor's shop, he also ate early, wore a few needlework, was really bored, and also had some longing for tomorrow's Buddha's birthday, but his heart was not very calm, he only felt uneasy, so he walked to the window and opened the window, which was the scene of this scene.

"Yo, this stupid man who is anxious scared the three of them, and splashed them all in mud. It's really a virtue that is in a hurry to be reincarnated. If the three of them don't dislike it, they will come to my shop and wipe the dirt off their bodies. Tailor Shi said on the second floor to the three people in front of the shop.

City lords Cao Wen and Cao Wu both raised their heads and looked at Shi Xiangyun upstairs in the shop. Shi Xiangyun's face reflected the candlelight in the room, with a subtle flush, coupled with the original stunning appearance, it looked particularly attractive.

The city lord was attracted by this Shi Xiangyun, what a stunning woman, not only has a stunning face, but also a bad heart, how many such women in the world dare to greet a few strange men at night? It seems that this woman is not simple.

City lords Cao Wen and Cao Wu did not dare to relax their vigilance in the slightest. "Dare to ask a woman's name? But he dared to greet the three of us on a rainy night. He dared to invite us into the shop. The city lord asked.

"Yo, look at what you said, I am a well-known tailor in this market, as long as the silver bell rings in my hand, there is no one in the entire market who can't come out, who dares to bully me Tailor Shi? Everyone, please come in, Xiaofu, and open the door to the three of you. Xiaofu on the first floor of the shop heard Shi Xiangyun's order, walked quickly to the door of the shop, and opened the door.

"In that case, it will bother Tailor Shi."

Cao Wu walked in front, and the three of them crossed the threshold and entered inside.

"Please, the room inside has water and a clean cloth sweat towel to wipe the mud off your face." Xiao Fu said to the three of them.

The city lord said to Xiaofu respectfully, "Thank you, little brother." ”

"No thanks, thank you or thank the tailor Shi who is the shopkeeper of my house. By the way, I'll give a few people a pot of hot water to drink. With that, Xiaofu turned around and walked out of the house.

Cao Wen watched Cao Wu pick up Bupa and wipe the mud on the city lord's body, and then said to the city lord, "What a beautiful woman, her heart seems to be quite good, I don't know what bad things are secretly doing." ”

"Cao Wen, don't let the tailor hear your words, we are originally bothering others, don't secretly suspect others." Cao Wen listened, and said again and again, "Yes, yes." ”

After a while, Xiaofu came in with a pot of water, "Everyone, I'll pour water for you, and remember to drink it when it's cold." Xiaofu spread out three dishes, each of which was full.

"By the way, Xiaofu, since your shopkeeper invited us in, why don't you show up to see us?" The city lord asked suspiciously.

"This, you still have to ask our shopkeeper, I can't be the master of this."

The city lord was silent for a moment, but decided to ask, and shouted to Tailor Shi on the second floor, "Tailor Shi Woman, since you invited the three of us in, why don't you come downstairs and talk?" ”

Shi Xiangyun listened upstairs to it really. "Three women talking to me on the big night, maybe not right? The three of them should wipe the dirt off their bodies as soon as possible and go back early. ”

"Tailor Shi girl, as the so-called Zhi'en Tu Bao, since the three of us have the benefits of the girl, why don't we give a chance to see each other? Besides, is Miss Shi still afraid of us? ”

"How can there be anyone in the entire Weiyang Mountain that I Shi Xiangyun is afraid of, even if I see the city lord in Weiyang City, I may not be afraid."

"Which Shi Xiangyun girl has ever seen the city lord of Weiyang City?"

"That city lord is what people of my generation can see."

"Since Miss Shi Xiangyun is not even afraid of the city lord of Weiyang City, what's the harm in seeing the three of us?"

"Didn't they all look up and see it, what is there to be nostalgic for? I, Shi Xiangyun, said that if I don't see it, I won't see it, so let's drink hot water and go back early. ”

Seeing that he couldn't convince the Shi tailor to meet him, the city lord didn't say too much, the three of them each drank a sip of water, and the city lord put some money on the table, and then went out of the Shi tailor's shop.

Out of the Shi family's tailor shop, Cao Wen said to the city lord, "The tailor Shi Xiangyun is so rude, the city lord has invited him many times, but the tailor Shi just refuses to come down." also said that he was not afraid of this, and he was not afraid of that, even the city lord was not afraid, I think she is clearly a timid woman. ”

"Cao Wen, don't make judgments, everyone has their own way of dealing with people, I admire the courage and style of the tailor."

"Why didn't the city lord confess his identity? I don't think she would have refused the city lord's invitation if she had known. Cao Wen said as he walked.

"I don't want to be honest because of this, I'm here to do something else, one is for the Buddha's birthday, and the other is for the woman who bumped into me on Guo Jingqi's birthday."

"The woman who has no manners? Reckless and rough girl, what did the city lord do for her? Is it possible to repay the hatred of that collision? ”

"Haha, you Cao Wen, what you said seems to me to be cautious."

"Don't dare, I didn't mean that. It's just a strange girl, and I want you to come here in person, the city lord. ”

The three of them walked and talked, and while laughing, they walked into an inn.

And Shi Xiangyun, when he saw the three of them out of the tailor's shop, went downstairs, and smiled slightly when he saw some money on the table. I didn't expect these three people to be righteous, so I should have come down to talk to them.
