Chapter 191: Tang Yi and the Book of Benevolence
Ji Que stood in front of the door of the house full of chrysanthemums, a little nervous for a while.
This feeling reminded him of standing in front of the door of the White Mansion.
But when he went to Baifu because he had a marriage contract to be withdrawn, and today he is seeing his classmates and friends, so how can he make it look like he wants to propose.
"Is Ah Yi there?"
Ji Que called a few times, but no one responded, so he gently pushed open the hidden wooden door.
There is a small courtyard in the wooden door, there are no flowers, but there is a bamboo spring, which looks quite elegant.
Several bamboo huts are located at the back of the courtyard, and the doors and windows are open.
After that, Ji Que saw his good brother Tang Yi.
Tang Yi fell asleep on the recliner in the room, like a lying dress.
Such a picture suddenly brought Ji Que back to the simple time when he was in Sangshui County.
What moved Ji Que the most was that although Tang Yi was asleep, he still had a "Book of Benevolence" on his chest.
This guy has really been preparing for the exam.
It can be judged from the sound of even breathing that reading is still about equal to effective hypnosis.
A gust of wind blew, the bamboo shadow swayed, Tang Yi opened his eyes dimly, closed them again, opened them again, and said in confusion: "No, I must be dreaming, I actually dreamed of this guy." ”
Ji Que couldn't help but say, "Is there anything wrong with me in a dream?" ”
Tang Yi blinked his big beautiful eyes, patted his face, and said, "Ah Ji, it can't really be you, right?" ”
Ji Que replied: "It can't be a ghost." ”
Tang Yi was surprised: "Damn, it's really you, I thought you wouldn't come to me like this." ”
His expression was very happy and excited, and it stands to reason that at such a time, both parties should stand up and hug each other to express the excitement of the reunion of brothers.
Unfortunately, it didn't.
Because Tang Yi is lazy, when he can lie down, he will never stand up.
"Aji, come in, there's tea on the table, pour it yourself, pour me a cup." Tang Yi warmly entertained.
Ji Que poured tea and couldn't help but say, "You will die if you move, you are still so lazy." ”
Tang Yi took the teacup, bit the teacup to his lips, took a sip, and retorted: "I am innocent by nature, not affected by the outside world, you are not the same, it doesn't look like a step further at first glance." ”
Ji Que said seriously: "Who said that." ”
Tang Yi's face changed greatly, and he said, "You won't be blind, you've been hit, right?" ”
Ji Que replied: "I didn't win, but I feel that I am much more mature and generous than before." ”
Tang Yi couldn't help but complain: "I can't see it at all." ”
But he quickly said happily: "Don't say it, my luck has changed for the better when you come." I was in the courtyard at noon when a crow flew by and dropped a roll of paper on me.
I glanced at it obliquely, but I didn't expect it to be a silver ticket, ten taels of one, guess how many? ”
Ji Que rubbed his face and said, "Five." ”
Tang Yi was surprised: "You can guess this, it is really fifty taels of silver falling from the sky, which is enough for our brother to eat and drink for several days." ”
Ji Que didn't know where to vomit out of the old groove for a while.
He seriously suspected that the fifty taels were dropped by himself in the city at noon!
Although they haven't seen each other for nearly two years, the two don't feel strange at all, as if they haven't seen each other for a few days and are still in that quiet small county town.
Speaking of which, it's all because the two of them are still like that.
Yes, Ji Que seems to have experienced a lot, from not knowing how to practice to cultivating to the Four Realms Divine Thought Realm, and he has encountered a lot of demons and evil troubles along the way, but he is still the original character.
Just like when he meets his aunt again, he will still knock the other party away, but the effect is higher.
As for Tang Yi, lazy, too lazy to change anything, it is about the same as sleeping in a different place.
The two chatted, and Ji Que suddenly said, "I haven't eaten yet." ”
Tang Yi replied, "I didn't either." ”
Ji Que was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then shouldn't we eat a little?" ”
Tang Yi pondered: "Then what to eat?" ”
"You're the host, I'm the guest, you ask me?" Ji Que asked rhetorically.
Tang Yi lay there and said, "It's very troublesome to eat, you wait, wait for the meal to come." ”
Ji Que couldn't help but say, "How long do you have to wait?" ”
"I don't know. If you're hungry, you can learn from me, as long as you lie down and don't move much, you won't get hungry so fast. ”
So, soon, there was another person lying in the room.
Ji Que picked up the "Book of Benevolence" on Tang Yi's body, turned a few pages, and Tang Yi said: "Mr. said that this year must be examined." ”
Ji Que frowned and said, "This is familiar. ”
To be honest, seeing these books again, Ji Que still couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.
He has not been doing his job properly in the past two years, and he has not read these "exam preparation books" for a long time.
He couldn't help but think of the good experience he had when he comprehended "Yixue", at least the skill of knocking people's heads into the body cavity is very good, so can you try "Renshu" this time?
At this time, Tang Yi couldn't help but ask, "Then are you married?" If you come out like this, my sister-in-law won't blame me, right? ”
Ji Que waved his hand and said, "Where did the sister-in-law come from, I said that I was going to withdraw from the marriage." ”
"It's someone else, Miss Everyone, doesn't want you?" Tang Yi replied.
I don't know why, Ji Que always felt that his voice was obviously happy.
At this moment, the courtyard door creaked open.
Tang Yi clapped his hands and said, "It's time to eat." ”
After that, Ji Que saw the previous "tofu brain Xi Shi" walking in with a basket.
Tofu Brain Xi Shi saw Ji Que, her eyebrows raised slightly, and then she put down the basket and said coldly: "That, brother, I'll go first." ”
After the tofu brain Xi Shi left, Ji Que couldn't help but say: "Brother? Tang Yi, didn't you say you don't have a sister? ”
Tang Yi replied, "Cousin." ”
"You ask your cousin to deliver food every day?" Ji Que couldn't help but say.
"Or else?"
"Does your uncle's family owe you a lot of money?" Ji Que couldn't help but complain.
Tang Yi told him before that he was going to go to his uncle, and he imagined that even if this girl was not under the fence, at least she had to help with the work, but now it is like the treatment of a young master.
No, it's not just a young master, it's just a living ancestor.
Lying like this every day, and having a beautiful cousin to deliver food, in this way, having a cat-eared girl doing housework doesn't seem to be something that can be showed off.
Ji Que looked at the steaming basket and said, "This can't be a tofu brain again, right?" ”
"No, that's usually eaten in the morning." Tang Yi replied.
Ji Que opened the basket and saw that there were four dishes and one soup inside, just from the appearance, the color and fragrance accounted for at least two items.
Ji Que couldn't help but rub his hands and said, "Your cousin is not only good-looking, but also has good cooking skills, but I think she is very discerning. ”
As he spoke, he brought out the food and placed it on the table.
It was only at this time that Tang Yi got off the recliner and sat down at the table.
"Very discerning, how do you know that?"
So Ji Que told him about the last two bowls of tofu brains that he and the old man were fighting, and Tang Yi was puzzled: "You defeated a bad old man, can you be so proud?"
Oh, I almost forgot, you liked to compete with old men in the first place. ”
At this time, the two began to eat, and Ji Que casually ate two chopstick dishes, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What blessings did you cultivate in your last life, to have such a cousin." ”
Tang Yi said: "You seem to be very interested in my cousin. ”
Ji Que nodded and said, "Her tofu brain is so delicious." ”
"What else?"
"This dish is also a must, no less than the chef of Tianren City."
"What else?"
"It's gone."
"Gone? Didn't you say she was pretty? Tang Yi couldn't help but say.
Ji Que said: "I'm face blind, and I value people's craftsmanship more. ”
Tang Yi was puzzled: "Are you face blind? So who is good-looking, you or me? ”
Ji Que said confidently: "Of course it's me." ”
Tang Yi couldn't help but sigh, still looking lazy, and said, "Ah Ji, I don't think you're face blind. ”
"What's that?"
"Blind."
During the meal, Ji Que said, "Ah Yi, why do you people in this realm feel a little weird? ”
Tang Yi said: "You have been in the big city for a long time, right? Isn't that the case with rednecks? ”
"No, when I was eating tofu brain at your cousin's today, she poisoned a man who owed money." Ji Que couldn't help but say.
"And then?"
"Don't you guys care about it?"
"There has never been a county order here, and the city lord doesn't care about such trivial matters, so people here generally reason by themselves, and they usually encounter a few unreasonable people." Tang Yi replied.
Ji Que thought about it: "I see, then it's really not easy for your cousin, you have to learn to collect accounts by selling a tofu brain." ”
"Alas, why is this cousin not very similar to Tang Yi, it stands to reason that there should be some blood relationship."
When cleaning up the dishes, Ji Que couldn't help but complain.
Although he is face blind, he still thinks that Tang Yi is very good-looking, just like he thinks that the female Shangfeng has big breasts, which is common sense.
The next day, not long after Ji Que woke up, he saw Tang Yi eating salty tofu brain, next to a bowl of sweet tofu brain.
Ji Que only took one bite and knew that it was his little cousin who had come.
Tang Yi said: "I will invite you to eat chicken at noon." ”
"What chicken?"
"Roast chicken."
"Is it delicious?"
"Haven't you heard of black bamboo roast chicken? The more you burn, the better it tastes. ”
Ji Que has not finished eating the tofu brain in the bowl, and he has begun to look forward to the arrival of noon.
At noon, Tang Yi rarely went out.
When the two passed by the medical hall, Ji Que couldn't help but say: "That day, the half-faced doctor took the man's pulse and said that he was pregnant. ”
Tang Yi said in a low voice: "That half of his face is a madman, because he used to seduce young women everywhere because of his handsome appearance, he was caught once and half of his face was cut off, so he went crazy." ”
"Ah, there are still people looking for crazy people to see a doctor." Ji Que complained.
"The man you are talking about may also be a madman, there are a lot of crazy people in Heizhu County, you have always been unlucky, be careful." Tang Yi explained.
As soon as his words fell, Ji Que found that there was a disheveled man on the side of the street staring at him with squinting eyes, and left a piece of laughter.
Ji Que couldn't help but say, "Damn, there is one here." ”
Tang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "That's a fool, not a madman." ”
As they spoke, the two of them walked out of Chrysanthemum Lane and came to the streets of Black Bamboo City.
Just like when Ji Que came, there were quite a lot of people in Heizhu City at noon, but at this time it was a meal, and most of the people were eating in the vendors and restaurants, and the streets seemed quite empty.
Standing here, you can see the continuous roof tiles and the bamboo forest on the hillside, and smell the fragrance of plants and trees in the wind, giving people a feeling of relaxation.
Tang Yi took Ji Que into an inconspicuous-looking restaurant and sat down.
"Little Er, here are two roast chickens." Tang Yi said.
Xiao Er ran over and said, "May I ask how much you want to burn?" ”
"Let's burn it three times." Tang Yi replied.
"Okay, please wait."
Ji Que asked, "What do you mean by three burns?" ”
Tang Yi explained: "Roast chicken is the first step, the chickens in Heizhu County run in the bamboo forest all year round, and the meat quality is good, and then the second step is to burn."
The so-called 'three burns' is to burn three times with three kinds of soup, which contains three levels of taste, so there is 'black bamboo roast chicken, the better it is. '. ”
Ji Que couldn't help but say: "Then why don't you burn four or five burns?" ”
"You just came, it's too hot for you to control. The old soup stock of four burns and five burns, a mouthful of soup can be boiled in a pot for decades, hundreds of years, and three generations, and the taste is the same as wine, the older the more intoxicating. ”
After saying these explanations, Tang Yi couldn't help but stretch and make a very lazy appearance.
Ji Que couldn't help but look at his mediocre chest, confirming that this was indeed Tang Yi.
Because he has encountered too many deceitful things, Ji Que often wonders if this person is himself.
No, sometimes, he even has to doubt a chicken, wondering if the chicken is a chicken essence, and whether it is serious.
It didn't take long for the black bamboo three-roast chicken to come up.
Ji Que immediately smelled the fragrance of bamboo leaves mixed in it.
There are many bamboos in Heizhu County, and they love to use bamboo for burning.
Immediately after, he took a bite of roast chicken, and for a moment he felt a thick and complex flavor bloom on the tip of his tongue.
When you taste this complexity, you will find that as Tang Yi said, there are three levels, and the aftertaste is long.
The three-roasted chicken really burns well!
When Ji Que was eating, he really had a feeling of drunkenness, but the more drunk he was, the more he wanted to eat.
And at this time, a young couple appeared on the street.
At first glance, the couple is handsome and beautiful, the couple is affectionate, and judging by the dress, they are still monks.
They all carried swords on their backs, and they had no scabbards.
Those who dare to carry a sword like this are definitely not characters to be messed with.
"Good fellow, still a chivalrous couple." Ji Que said with emotion while eating roast chicken.
I don't know if it's the reason for eating too much roast chicken or what, but his words have become more.
And he found that since he saw Tang Yi, he has not been unlucky until now.
As a result, at this time, I only heard a voice "The son of the city lord is here!" Everyone's faces changed.
