Chapter 9: The Master of the Tang Sect (2)

"The old woman is long-lived? Is there sixty? ”

"Sixty? Zhu Gongzi is really joking, his old body is seventy-seven, alas, his body is not good. ”

"That old man is in excellent health, life is rare for seventy years, you are almost eighty years old, you are still so tough, it is indeed rare, many people are forty or fifty years old, how can you live to your age? There are many activities on weekdays, and if you are happy every day, you will be old when you live to be 100 years old. Zhu Wenyu has always respected the old man, but he said it sincerely, without the slightest hint of laughter, but what he said in the words of this ancient old woman was a little funny and not dignified, but neither of them seemed to notice this.

"Alas, the old woman also thinks about it, then it depends on whether God will let it or not, what about him, this old bone, he can accept it whenever he likes, and we will live one more day if we collect it one day later, right? Zhu Gongzi? By the way, has Childe had breakfast? The old woman waved her hand indifferently and said casually.

"Used, used, used. Come on, old woman, slow down, come, there is a stool here, sit down and sit down, I will hold the oil lamp, can you put this way? ”

"Okay, okay, thank you Zhu Gongzi. Alas, it's old, it's not good, and you'll have to rest for a while. Ahem, how many days has Zhu Gongzi been in Tangjiabao? ”

"I just came here yesterday."

"Oh, have you seen the castle master? How long are you going to stay? ”

"It's going to be a few days, and I won't leave until the New Year."

"Oh, okay, it's New Year, it's another year, it's a year older, it's a little closer to death, hehe. But Zhu Gongzi, the New Year of Tangjiabao is lively, this year you just caught up, the outside of the castle is going to play dragon lanterns, you young people like to watch the most, these girls and boys in the castle are like sassing joy one by one. Ahem, by the way, there is also a competition in the fort on the first day of the new year, but it is generally not allowed to outsiders, I'm afraid you won't be able to watch it. ”

"Is there still a contest in the New Year? Among the disciples of the Tang Sect? When Zhu Wenyu heard the competition, his spirits were lifted and he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, that's the rule set by the previous generation of sect masters, all the young disciples under the age of thirty in the door have to go back to the Tang Sect to participate in the competition in the New Year, first, to try their skills, to see how well they have practiced this year, whether the martial arts have fallen, and secondly, to let the elders see their entry strength, and sometimes some poor envoys can also use it in the coming year."

"Oh, how do you compare the secret weapon with the poison? Wouldn't it be easy to be killed or injured if you were not careful? ”

"For the New Year, of course, you can't hurt your family, Bibi is not afraid of punches and feet, cough cough, this secret weapon, you have to set another target, and naturally you won't feed the poison, and the method will be judged by several elders."

"Then why did you choose to compete in the New Year?"

"The New Year's picture is festive, the first day of the year, ahem. Besides, a little comment from the elders will also be very beneficial to their martial arts practice in the coming year, right? Hehe, young man, use your brains, hehe. ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, what the old man said is that the kid is indeed a little confused." Zhu Wenyu said ashamedly.

"It doesn't matter if you are confused about small things, you can just be confused about big things. Young people are impatient, and sometimes they like to make some impulsive mistakes, and it is always difficult to be calm. Cough...... Ahem. The mother-in-law coughed violently as she spoke.

"Old man, go back quickly, it's cold here, your age is important." Zhu Wenyu said while patting her mother-in-law lightly on the back.

"Alas, it's an old problem, I haven't seen it for decades, I've long been used to it, I don't cough when I cough, and others don't care about it, so sometimes Hou Yun girl still asks, alas."

"Is it Miss Tang Yun?"

"Yes, Childe, do you know Yun girl too? This girl, her mother died of childbirth when she gave birth to her, she didn't have a mother since she was a child, and my wife brought her up single-handedly, she, and her father are not very close, just kiss my wife, hehe, it's not very good, there is no lady like a lady, like a crazy girl all day long, alas, I only come back once in a few months, I think my wife can't do it. Hehe, but anyway, the girl's family is big, and she can't control her body and heart, so it's good to go out for a walk and see the world. How did Childe know Yun girl? ”

"Hehe, this is a long story, but I have met a few times and know each other, but I am not very familiar with it." Zhu Wenyu knows that the average elderly like to nag and be lonely, in the past, Old Master Chen was like this, but he only cared about playing and didn't accompany the old master well, and he regretted it when the old master went. Anyway, it's okay to wait in Tangjiabao now, and it's idle to be idle, so I simply moved a stool to talk to the old woman who was a gardener, and told me about the old woman who knew Tang Yun before and after, he was very eloquent, and in order to make the old woman happy, he deliberately added oil and vinegar to say vividly, especially when it came to the two of them playing tricks on each other on the way to Shandong, one put a needle in the saddle, cut the belt of the horse's pedal, and the other changed Tang Yun's horse, and put her on the side of the road, and the old woman couldn't stop laughing.

The old woman seems to have walked through the rivers and lakes when she was young, she is not a person who is not good at words, and her temperament is also very cheerful.

Before I knew that the time was noon, the old woman stood up, patted the dust on her body, and said: "Alas, thank you Zhu Gongzi, I spent a long time with my bad old woman, and I said that I was tired, and I didn't even drink a sip of tea, it's really hard for you." Ahem, don't say it, don't talk about it, the old woman should go back, Zhu Gongzi, you should go back quickly, it's almost the time for lunch, my wife can't eat much, you young people have a big appetite, and the taste of a hungry meal is not pleasant. Let's go back. ”

"Hehe, yes, old man, then let's all go back, you should rest after being tired for a long time. Why don't the younger generations help you grow old and go back? ”

"Hehe, don't you dare, what can you do? The son is a distinguished guest of Tangjiabao, how can I let the guest help me and an old woman back to the house? It's tormenting my wife, hehe, besides, the child's guest room is at the other end, the old woman is at this end, not on the side, the son doesn't need to send it, go back quickly, go back quickly. The old woman nodded and turned around while waving her hand, signaling Zhu Wenyu to go back quickly.

"Oh, well, the junior is leaving."

"That's right, Childe, my wife will come to this flower room every day to look around the flower pine soil or something, if Childe doesn't think the old woman is wordy, you can also come over when it's okay to talk to my wife." Good no good? The old woman turned abruptly.

"Hehe, as long as the old woman doesn't dislike it, anyway, I'm just waiting for the news of the castle owner these days, and there's nothing urgent, I will definitely come over when I'm free, talk to you, and have a long experience." After saying that, he bowed to the end, turned around and returned to the guest room, that Nangong Ling was still looking at the book intently, and when he saw him enter the door, he glanced up, and did not speak, and continued to read his book.

For four or five days in a row, Zhu Wenyu had nothing to do, and every day he went to the flower room to talk to the florist's mother-in-law for a long time, and after returning to the house, he pulled Nangong Ling to play chess for half a day, but Tang Yanxiong, the owner of Tangjiabao, never showed up again, and seemed to have forgotten the two. Fortunately, Zhu Wenyu is not in a hurry when he comes, and he is not a person who cares about everything, this is the New Year soon, and it is natural that there are many things in the fort, and it seems that he can only spend the New Year in this Tangjia Fort, so he is not in a hurry at all.

The people in the martial arts broke into the rivers and lakes, and they didn't care as much about this New Year's festival as ordinary people, but Zhu Wenyu and the two still felt a strong New Year's atmosphere in this Tangjiabao, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Yanxiong, the owner of Tangjiabao Fort, came to the guest room, and said with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "Zhu Shaoxia, Nangong Shaoxia, there are many mundane things in the fort these days, and the two distinguished guests have been snubbed, which is really offended, and the two young heroes must not be surprised." ”

"Where, the castle lord is too humble, the castle is busy with affairs, and the castle master only cares about the cooking, not the juniors." Nangong Ling hurriedly stood up and arched his hand.

"How does this work? I wonder if the two young heroes are used to living here? Are you used to eating? Have the people ever neglected? In the cold countryside, if there is anything inconsiderate, I hope that the two young heroes will take care of it. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the subordinates take care of you very diligently, please rest assured." Nangong Lingdao.

"By the way, castle master, this Sichuan food doesn't seem to be as numb and spicy as rumored, but a bit like the food in our capital?" Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.

"Hehe, Zhu Shaoxia, there are two masters in the castle, one from Shandong and one from Yangzhou, which are the Shandong cuisine and Yangzhou cuisine that the old man specially instructed the kitchen to make for the two young heroes."

"Haha, I see, I said. Thank you for taking care of the castle owner, it's just too troublesome for the castle owner, hehe, but it's best to get a Sichuan dish every meal for our brothers and sons to taste, try the spicy taste and see if it can't be done. Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.

"Hehe, Zhu Shaoxia is so interested, this is easy, you can get it immediately. Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Moute came to accompany the two young heroes to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, there are a lot of family members in the castle, and the owner of the castle should accompany his family for the New Year, don't care about me and the other two, how can the younger two become." Nangong Lingdao

"That is, Lord Tangbao, don't care about the two of us, our brothers are young, we are happy, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a reunion dinner, or should be eaten together as a family, the castle master should go back." Zhu Wenyu also said.

"The old man over there has been arranged, the family has a door master to preside over the New Year's dinner, and the two young heroes have worked tirelessly to come to my Tang Gate for the sake of martial arts affairs. Come on, put the wine and food on the table, and then talk to the cook, and add a few Sichuan dishes. Tang Yanxiong beckoned to the subordinates outside the door.
