Chapter 147: Bamboo Forest Valley
Wang Zhenren took a deep breath and said slowly: "After leaving Zixiao Palace, my senior brother took me south, he sent me to my mother's house, I grew up next to my great-grandfather, my great-grandfather had no children under his knees, before he died, he gave me all his family business, and the nephews and grandnephews of other houses wanted to compete for property, I was an orphan girl, unable to protect myself, and I became a monk in Yunmeng Mountain in desperation. ”
Minghui knew in her heart, this is right, she knew before that Wang Zhenren was born in a merchant family, she was the only daughter in the family, and the family wealth was calculated by the clansmen, so she could only give up the only remaining family wealth, rebuild Yunmengguan, and live in Yunmengguan from then on.
Wang Zhenren's origin, in Qi County is not a secret, often come to Yunmengguan good believers all know, although Wang Zhenren is a merchant, but after all, he has also been a rich daughter, talk and taste are unique, and the previous bitter Haha Xiao Zhenren is completely different, therefore, after she became the master, she was soon respected by the big women, Yunmengguan's Yunmengxiang and Yunmeng cake have also become a new specialty of Qi County, in short supply.
Minghui tugged at Wang Zhenren's sleeve flatteringly: "Thank you, master, let me never worry about wearing snacks." ”
When others said that she grew up in a Taoist temple on the mountain, they thought that she had never seen the world before, but they didn't know that she really didn't suffer before she was twelve years old.
The master is rich, and the old lady Ming also has plenty of money, every time Wang Haiquan comes back from a business trip, he will bring her back fresh things that Qi County does not have, such as small birds with machines, shiny Western mirrors, all kinds of Kong Ming lock nine rings, and she also has several one-foot-high fairy dolls, but they are all painted by her, which is miserable.
Before she helped her to return to Baoding, the master also gave her a thousand taels of silver tickets.
"Well, it's good that you know." Wang Zhenren said angrily.
Minghui sniffed, and the matter of the ring ruler just now was turned over.
"Master, your senior brother, where is my uncle, what is his old man's surname, and where is Xianxiang?"
Wang Zhenren's eyes were confused: "He claims to be surnamed Lu, his name is Lu Qian, but I guess this should be a fake name, I have lived in the Bamboo Forest Valley of Zixiao Palace since I can remember, and I have never been to a place other than the Bamboo Forest Valley."
The two dumb aunts who usually take care of me in Zhulin Valley have no tongues, but I never feel afraid.
Senior Brother Lu also lives in Zhulin Valley, he is different from me, I can't go out, but he can, he follows Shijun to learn the Tao, and when he is free, he will also teach me.
Although I am an apprentice of Shijun, he has never taught me, and I have always been taught by Senior Brother Lu.
In addition to teaching me schoolwork, Senior Brother Lu would also tell me about the outside world, and then I realized that everyone had parents, except for me.
There are two rooms in the Bamboo Forest Valley, except for Shi Jun, only Senior Brother Lu can enter.
Every time Shi Jun came to Bamboo Forest Valley, he would stay in that house with Senior Brother Lu for a long time, never letting people get close.
Once, Shi Jun and Senior Brother Lu had come back with a big bag, and they entered the room for a few hours, and since then, they would often come back with a big bag, and after a few hours, they would take the big bag with them.
I was seven or eight years old at that time, and I was no longer an ignorant child, and I knew that there were people in that big pocket.
I quietly asked Senior Brother Lu, and at first Senior Brother Lu refused to say anything, but later I always asked, and said that I would go to the house to inspect while the master was away, probably because I was worried that I would get into trouble, so Senior Brother Lu told me that there were a lot of insects in that house.
I asked him what they were doing when they brought people back from outside, to see the bugs.
Senior Brother Lu said that he said that those people had worms planted on them and were about to die, and Shijun had helped the man take out the worms.
Once, they brought back a person who had been in the Gu Dynasty, but this time Shi Jun had something to do and left for an hour.
Senior Brother Lu blindfolded me with a cloth and led me into the room.
He taught me to check the man's pulse, and he took my hand and touched the man's chest and back little by little...... Just like what I did to Ming Xuan just now, and Ming Xuan's symptoms are almost the same as that person! ”
When Wang Zhenren said this, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "When I was a child, I thought that the so-called taking out the insects was to use a big hook to hook out the insects, but it wasn't until many years later, when I had more knowledge, that I woke up to the so-called raising insects, which is to raise Gu, and taking out the insects is to solve the Gu!" ”
Minghui was surprised, she really didn't think that the master would live an isolated life when he was a child.
The master obviously has relatives, why was he sent to the Bamboo Forest Valley to live with the two mute Taoist aunts?
If it weren't for this Uncle Lu, would the master have grown into a dumb person who can't speak, or a fool?
Could it be that her previous guess was right, didn't Shijun have accepted a little apprentice?
Also, the master said that everyone in the world has parents, but she doesn't.
The master has a great-grandfather, but why doesn't he have parents?
Minghui didn't dare to ask, she was afraid of disturbing the master's thoughts, and she was even more afraid of the ring ruler in the master's hand.
Wang Zhenren sighed softly: "Then one day, it was raining heavily outside, and the rain poured into the house, and I followed the two dumb Dao aunts to go out to collect water, Senior Brother Lu suddenly ran back, and he told the two Dao aunts that the master had opened the altar and let Lei Zhi die when he was doing the law, and the emperor would not let go of the people in Zixiao Palace, he asked the two Dao aunts to escape quickly and live, and the two Dao aunts heard this, knelt down and kowtowed to us and left.
Senior Brother Lu walked into the two houses where the insects were raised, and later he came out of them and left the Bamboo Forest Valley with me on his back.
It rained heavily that day, lightning and thunder, and it was the first time I walked out of the Bamboo Forest Valley, and the first time I saw the world outside the Bamboo Forest Valley.
We walked a lot, rode horses, rode boats, until one day, he took me to the door of a house, and he said that the family's surname was Wang, and the old lady of the Wang family was my great-grandfather, and he asked me to knock on the door and walk in.
I did as he said, the door opened, and an old servant came out, he was Wang Haiquan's grandfather Jin Shunbo, I said that the old lady of this family was my great-grandfather, Jin Shunbo just asked my age, and took me in.
Before I entered, I turned to look, and I saw my brother standing in the alley opposite, and he waved at me, and that was the last time I saw him, and I haven't heard from him since. ”
Minghui was shocked, she never thought that the master would have such an experience, and she never thought that the master would have such a senior brother.
As the master guessed, this senior brother may not be surnamed Lu, and even the name is fake.
He must have an extraordinary background, and he is already by Shijun's side, which is likely to have a purpose.
As for the master, she was raised in the Bamboo Forest Valley by the "national teacher" since she was a child, isolated from the world, and everyone in the world has parents, but she doesn't.
The master's background may not be as simple as the granddaughter of a merchant's family.
Look at the flowers.
