Chapter 192: Seeing the Old Man (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"It's a simple, neat and ingenious poem, and it would be great if it were taught to a beginner child." When a literati heard it, he couldn't help but praise it, "I don't know where Mr. heard it?" β
"It's been too long to forget."
"It's a pity ......"
"yes."
The Taoist was also quite emotional.
After passing by this person, he lowered his head and continued to look at the cat in his arms.
The cat also looked up at him.
"I don't understand ......"
It was so quiet that only Song You could hear it.
That is to say, when you look at it from a distance, you can see the color of the mountain, and when you listen closely, there is no sound of water, so this thing has mountains and water. But even in spring, the flowers do not wither, and the birds are not scared away when people walk by. "Song You is kind and seductive," what does Sanhua Niangniang think? β
"What is it?"
"Do you want to remind Sanhua Niangniang?"
"Remind Sanhua Niangniang!"
"We have it at home."
"It's at home!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The Taoist looked down at the cat, and the cat looked up at the Taoist.
"I watch it a lot."
"You often watch it~"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The Taoist expression was helpless, and his eyebrows and eyes were soft.
The cat's eyes were clear, and his face was full of seriousness.
"Hanging on the wall."
ββ¦β¦β
The cat's expression finally changed a little.
It didn't take long for her eyes to light up, and she got rid of her clear stupidity and ignorant curiosity, but she didn't forget to lower her voice:
"It's a painting!"
"Although there are only paintings hanging on the wall in our house, Sanhua Niangniang can remember it all of a sudden, and she is also very smart." Song You said to her, "I admire it." β
βοΌβ
The cat stared at him suspiciously.
After a while, she retracted her gaze and wanted to respond as usual, but found that the simple sentence "right" was extremely difficult to say today, so she had to change the topic: "Then is this horse lantern now from Sanhua Niangniang?" β
"Naturally, Sanhua Niangniang guessed correctly, and won this lantern."
"Won it!"
"Yes, it's all due to Sanhua Niangniang's cleverness and quick thinking." The Taoist said, "But this lantern and this incident are very memorable, Sanhua Niangniang accepted this lantern, I am afraid that she should also remember the poem that made herself win the lantern." β
"Remember!"
"So memorize this verse."
"Carry it off!"
"I'm just making a suggestion, I don't know if Sanhua Niangniang will take it." Song You's tone was sincere, "But I don't think I need to make this suggestion, Sanhua Niangniang knows it." β
"Sanhua Niangniang will carry it off when she goes back!"
"Heroes see the same thing, ......"
"That's right!"
"If only I could write it down......"
"Sanhua Niangniang will write it down when she goes back!"
"Will you be tired of the three flower girls?"
"No!"
"Awesome......"
The Taoist held her and carried the lantern in his hands, and walked slowly along the river.
It's probably the whole Changjing tonight to come out to enjoy the lanterns, Song You walked along the way, and met a lot of acquaintances.
saw the shopkeeper of the Anle Pavilion and the Changjing military attache who invited him to the mansion at the beginning, and both of them just saluted him from afar, which can be regarded as a greeting. After walking out for a while, I saw the evening river girl in the Hexian Tower, but when I saw it, the two sides were across the river, and they just saluted each other, and then they each admired the lanterns.
There are also some people who don't know him, who seem to have heard of him, and who seem to be just friendly to Taoists, but they don't know him, and they bow to him when they see him, smiling and saluting.
When I was about to go home, I met another acquaintance.
With a weak figure and a beard, it is Cui Nanxi.
Cui Nanxi was almost stunned when he saw it.
It's just that he was not alone at this time, and there were many friends beside him, so it was really inconvenient to come over and talk to Song You, so after being shocked, he just bowed and bowed deeply, and then left step by step.
Almost around the river, the stone arch bridge in Changjing City is afraid to walk all over again, and the night is slowly deep, and then go back.
Leaving the lantern festival venue, only the moonlit night replaced the colorful lights, and the quiet streets replaced the noise, which was still a little uncomfortable.
It's just that a man and a cat also brought a lamp back.
Passing through a dark alley, the cat in the Taoist arms was gone, replaced by a little girl who followed her, carrying a pony lantern, as if she was going to tiptoe with every step, and from time to time held the lantern in front of her, and came closer to look closer, and the candlelight passed through the tissue paper, and also illuminated her delicate little face and the novelty in her eyes.
"Da Da Da ......"
The little girl ran to a corner with a lantern, held the lantern to shine on the mouse in the corner, looked at it twice, and ran back.
Walk slowly back to Willow Street.
When she returned home and went upstairs, she still held up her lantern from time to time and stared at it without blinking, but the candle in the lantern was almost burned out.
Sanhua Niangniang keenly noticed that something was wrong.
"Taoist ......"
Song You washed his face and brushed his teeth, and replied without looking back: "What is Sanhua Niangniang doing?" β
"Does this firewood cost money?"
"It's expensive."
βοΌβ The little girl's expression froze, and she quickly asked, "Can you use firewood from the tree?" β
"I'm afraid not."
βοΌβ
The little girl's expression suddenly froze again.
This is terrible, Sanhua Niangniang's ability to collect firewood is not useful, but she is forced to the weakness of spending money.
ββ¦β¦β
After Song You wiped his face, he wiped his hands by the way, then put the veil up, turned to look at her, and said: "But I know a spell in the next place, which is related to the fire method that Sanhua Niangniang has been learning, that is, borrowing a little fire from Huoyang Zhenjun, which is specially used to light lanterns without candles and oil lamps without lamp oil, which can be lit all night." β
"Teach it to Sanhua Niangniang."
"But Sanhua Niangniang has to learn that poem first." Song You reasoned while getting into bed, "After all, Sanhua Niangniang first said that she wanted to learn poetry, and Sanhua Niangniang understood the truth of coming first and coming first." It would be unfair to the poem if you learn this spell first. β
"It's not fair."
"yes, it's going to be sad."
βοΌβ
The little girl's expression froze again, and her expression was firm.
Song You had already laid down on the bed, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
"Taoist ......"
"Huh?"
"How did you read that poem?"
ββ¦β¦β
Song You had a sense of foreboding.
As expectedβ
The cat was studious, worked hard overnight, asked him over and over again, and finally memorized it, and asked him to teach her to write.
It is not possible to persuade her to go to bed, Sanhua Niangniang will tell him that she was still catching rats in Ling Senjun's mansion at this time last night.
I don't know how late I fell asleep.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
When Song You opened his eyes, he saw a three-flowered cat lying next to him, half-squinting, and when he woke up, he yawned, and immediately stood up, shook his head, and regained consciousness.
"Sanhua Niangniang has memorized it, and she can already write."
ββ¦β¦β
"When will you teach the Three Flower Lady spells?"
"In a moment."
"After a while."
"Now there seems to be an old man downstairs, can you trouble Sanhua Niangniang to go down and help me open the door and invite guests in?" Song You said, "Tell the guests, I just woke up and went to wash up first." β
"Okay."
The cat turned its head and jumped out of bed.
The posture is light and elegant.
When she landed, she was already a little girl.
Song You put on his clothes in no hurry, there was no reason to go to the guests in disarray, and there was no reason to go to the guests without washing his face, so he went downstairs to wash, and faintly heard the sound of the door opening in front of him, as well as the voice of the little girl talking softly.
"Is that you?"
"Dare to ask, this is the residence of Song Immortal Master?"
"That's right, Daoist Song."
"Dare to ask what is the ...... of the step"
"I'm Sanhua Niangniang."
"It's actually Sanhua Niangniang!! Disrespectful, disrespectful! β
"Come in, tell you, the Taoist priest will wake up, go wash first, and Sanhua Niangniang will pour you a glass of water."
ββ¦β¦β
basically copied what he told her.
However, Sanhua Niangniang knew that she had to pour a glass of water for the guests, which was enough to make him feel relieved.
After washing up, when he went out, Cui Nanxi was already sitting on the first floor, with a glass of water in front of him, but he didn't dare to touch it, and he only dared to sit on the bench next to half of his buttocks, his eyes wanted to stare ahead, but he couldn't control flying left and right, aiming at the little girl sitting opposite him, looking extremely restrained.
He was followed by a guard, who was also very restrained.
On the contrary, the little girl looked as usual, sitting on the bench and dangling her legs, and found that he was wrong, and looked at him suspiciously, and when he avoided his gaze, she became even more energetic, and simply stared at him.
"Cui Gong."
Song You finally walked out.
"Immortals!"
Cui Nanxi immediately stood up, his face was excited and joyful.
"Cui Gongdon't want to call me that."
"Immortal Master!"
"Cui Gong, please take a seat." Song You smiled at him, beckoned him to sit down, and sat on the other side at the same time, "The last time I said goodbye to Yunding Mountain, it has been a year before I knew it, and it seems that Cui Gong looks good." β
"Thanks to the immortal master, everything is fine." Cui Nanxi hurriedly said, "When Cui heard about the Taiwei Mansion before, he felt that the immortal in the legend was somewhat similar to the immortal master, but he couldn't be sure, so he wanted to come over to find out if it was the immortal master in person, but when he came here with Xu Le, he found that the immortal master's door was locked, and Cui probably understood that the immortal master didn't want to be disturbed, so he didn't come over, but he didn't expect to see the immortal master's true face at the lantern festival." β
Saying that, he couldn't help but get up and salute again: "What a blessing, what a blessing!" β
The guards behind him also saluted.
"When I was drinking tea in the teahouse some time ago, I heard a reader talk about the article written by Cui Gong." Song You said with a smile, "There are scholars who copy it and sell it on the street, and I also buy it and read it, Cui Gong's article may really have a splendid story that has been passed down through the ages." β
"It's just borrowing the immortal qi of the immortal master......"
At this time, there was really nothing to do, so Song You made tea for him, and the two chatted.
Cui Nanxi said that when he left Shizu County and returned to Beijing, the recent situation of Yunding Mountain, and the influence of rumors of true immortals on Yunding Mountain on Pingzhou. Talking about the canon he was compiling and the learned people who compiled the canon together, sometimes he also asked Song You some knowledge about Xuanmen and cultivation, as if he wanted to mention these in the canon.
It's a pleasure to talk about it.
