Volume 1: The first young man in the rivers and lakes Old Yellow Calendar 04 Ruby

The sun rises in the east, the small stalls on the streets of the capital are always overcrowded, shouts come and go, pawnshops, on both sides of the street, all kinds of vendors are selling along the street, there are antiques, rouge, gouache, jewelry, calligraphy and painting, kites, sachets, all kinds of traffic routes cover every corner of the capital like a spider web, batch after batch of people are loaded and unloaded like goods, the whole capital is like a busy shell, everyone is busy, busy with their own difficult life......

A slender young man in a red robe walked down the street, he was wearing a mask, no one knew his face, only his nose and mouth could be seen, half of his face looked very blue. He had a conspicuous sachet tied around his waist, and the sachet was engraved with a phoenix. Everywhere he passed, there would be a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Everywhere he passed, there would be people, officials, greeting him, and he returned the salute one by one.

"Hello Red Hero." "Red Hero came out to shop so early?" "Good morning, Red Hero." ...... He is the famous hero Hongyu in the capital, he has helped the capital handle many difficult cases, and his reputation has long been famous in the capital, even the people in other places have heard of the Hongyu hero.

The young man in the red robe sat down after a breakfast stall with a few baskets of freshly steamed buns, which was relatively early, and there was no one at the stall at all. When the stall owner saw the red-robed young man sitting down, he said:

"Guest, you are the first customer of the stall today, what do you want?"

Ruby replied:

"Three meat buns, pork and a bowl of millet porridge."

The stall owner replied:

"Okay, the guest officer will bring it to you, after all, it is the first guest of the stall today, so I will give the guest officer an extra bun."

Ruby smiled:

"Thank you, boss."

When the boss turned his head and handed the bun to Hongyu, he saw the mask that could only see the mouth and the sachet on his waist, and dared to find that the stall owner actually laughed very excitedly, his face was round and big, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line, and the meat on his face was piled up like an "oil ball", and the whole looked like a kind "Maitreya Buddha".

The stall owner laughed:

"Roar, isn't this a red jade, a red hero? The strange little one didn't have a good eye just now, and he didn't see it clearly. ”

Hongyu smiled and said that it was okay:

"They all say, you have good buns here, and you can't buy them if you go late, so I made a special trip to get up early today to eat your buns."

The stall owner smiled brightly:

"If you know that this bun can be liked by the Red Hero, then you have to fly, hahaha."

Hongyu also laughed and said:

"The stall owner can talk, hahaha."

After a while, some people saw Hongyu eating buns here, so they hurriedly ran over. Many people don't buy steamed buns at all, just to get in touch with red jade up close, and there are more and more people in this small stall, especially women, and the stall is full.

A plump woman in extremely thin clothes twisted her hips and said to the stall owner with a large bag of copper coins:

"Finally lined up, fat Maitreya, give the old lady a cage!"

The stall owner said helplessly:

"Sister Sun, there are only six left, the buns I prepared could be sold for three hours, but now they are all sold out in less than half an hour!"

The plump woman said shyly:

"Oh, I'm calling them all sisters, or I'll buy them all."

A young man in line at the back said angrily: "It's hard to get in line, you can't let a few, you buy them all, I won't line up in vain!" ”

The plump woman glared at the young man behind her, and then slapped Yinliang and said, "What's wrong?" Unconvinced, unconvinced! ”

The young man in the back was taken aback: "Okay, I won't buy it." ”

Then the woman took the bun with a smile and ran to the side of the red jade, and squeezed her eyebrows at the red jade and said:

"Hong Gongzi, if you can't eat enough, these are all yours."

Hongyu said, "Thank you, girl, I've got enough." ”

This made the other women in the street embarrassed, and some of them were jealous and whispered.

The stall owner shouted:

"Thank you, all the guest officials, the buns are sold out today, and those who didn't buy them will come back tomorrow."

A young man who had been queuing for a long time in the back was a little unconvinced and said angrily:

"I've been queuing for a long time, and I'm gone? I can't do it for nothing! ”

The stall owner said helplessly:

"It's really gone, and the porridge is sold out, can't I conjure it up for you? You're right? ”

The ones that didn't buy in the back were all lost, so they scattered.

There were three guests sitting at the table next to him, and one of them, a ruffian with a mustache and a missing front tooth, turned his head and looked at the plump woman's breasts, and said softly:

"Widow Sun, in fact, she is in quite good shape, how good it would be to marry her, and her kung fu in bed should not be bad."

Another young man next to him, who looked like a talent, patted the head of the mustache and said:

"Be a little more reserved, it's all a joke!"

Then the young man said triumphantly:

"Just like you, being favored by Li Rui's fat man of more than 100 kilograms, you have to burn high incense, and Widow Sun and I are a match made in heaven."

There was also a man next to him who also said, "I still think it's too strict." ”

Hongyu didn't have to worry about eating a bun, she was stared at by the plump woman, and it was not good to be stared at by someone when she was eating. The plump woman held her hand and stared at the red jade with a squinting face:

"Yo, has the red boy eaten enough, I still have it."

Then he blinked at the peach blossom eyes and looked at the red jade. Hongyu fell to the ground with goosebumps all over her body, and then quickly got up, and the plump woman also got up and said:

"Red boy, don't! Sit a little longer. ”

Walked up to the stall owner and said:

"Stallholder, how many copper coins?"

The stall owner smiled and said:

"Red Hero, you are my God of Wealth, you sit down, I didn't expect the business to be so good, don't want copper money, Red Hero often comes."

Hongyu thought that it would be good to save a little, and then hugged her fists and replied:

"Thank you stall owner for your hospitality, I'll go first."

The stall owner who called the fat Maitreya smiled and said:

"Slow down on the Red Hero's road."

Ruby turned away and continued to walk down the lively streets.

On the lively streets of the capital, there are three young people walking on the streets, one of them, a slender figure, holding a folding fan, his eyes are bruised, and his cheeks are also full of bruises, sticking to the ointment. Fan a folding fan and walk leisurely down the street. At this time, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes holding a bamboo flute said with a smile:

"Song Gongzi, Song Gongzi, I really don't care about my image at all, and you don't bring the mask that Yu Ze and I specially prepared for you."

The young man in white replied:

"You don't have to care about other people's eyes, just be yourself, whatever they say, it's theirs."

The young man with the flute stretched out his thumb and said:

"Transparent!"

The young man in white said with emotion:

"It's really not easy to go all the way, thanks to meeting that senior."

The flute man said:

"There are still a lot of good people in the world, I really hope I have the opportunity to meet that senior."

A young man in a dark green robe, holding a flute behind his back with his right hand behind his back, said:

"I think we'll have a chance to meet each other."

The three of them continued to walk slowly on the lively streets of the capital, and not far away, a young man wearing a red robe, wearing a mask, and a sword hanging from his waist walked slowly.

Song Yunzhi continued to fan the folding fan in a chic manner, walking in the front, he saw the red jade and hugged his fists and saluted:

"Suishan Song Yunzhi, meet the Red Hero."

Hu Rui and Li Yuze then clasped their fists together, and Hu Rui said:

"Suishan Hu Rui, meet the Red Hero."

Li Yuze said:

"Suishan Li Yuze, meet the Red Hero."

Ruby replied:

"Suishan? Could it be that the three of them are the disciples of Suishan? ”

Hu Rui replied:

"Yes, the master of our three is none other than Chen Yichao Chen from Suishan."

Ruby replied with a smile:

"I've heard of Old Man Chen, the old man is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is also a must, and he is also a must, and it is rumored that the old man has seven proud disciples, called the Seven Heroes of Suishan."

Chen Yichao, as his name suggests, Yichao, a must-play chess, when he was young, he was a national teacher in the imperial court, basically undefeated, and then went to the court, returned to his hometown, and then lived in seclusion in Suishan, returned to the mountains, and faded out of the rivers and lakes. He had played three days and three nights with the chess fairy Zhang Tianyuan in the Sui Mountain, Chen Yichao narrowly defeated Zhang Tianyuan, and played the famous 'Bright Moon Game'.

Chen Yichao loves musical instruments and has only accepted seven disciples, known as the 'Suishan Seven Heroes'. Zhang Tianyuan, a self-proclaimed chess immortal, was only a weak champion when he played the Mingyue game with Chen Yichao, walking thousands of miles, just to play a game with Chen Yichao, and then played the famous 'Mingyue game'. After Chen Yichao and Zhang Tianyuan finished this famous Mingyue game, Chen Yichao once said:

"It's a pity that the chessboard is too small, and if it was bigger, I might not be his opponent."

Hu Rui took Hongyu's hand and said:

"It's rare to see the Red Hero himself, or the Red Hero will accompany us to the wine shop to drink! Let's go! ”

Hongyu replied, "Okay, that's what I mean. ”

Came to the wine shop, the wine shop is very lively There are many passers-by and tourists, Xiao Er is busy and his hands are shaking to count the money, and the dishes on the table are delicious and fragrant, which makes people linger.

Xiao Er hurriedly ran over and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”

Hu Rui said: "Xiao Er, I'm happy today, you have to take care of good wine and meat!" ”

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute." ”

After a while, the table was full of dishes and a few pots of wine, Hu Rui opened a pot of seals and poured them full of wine.

Hongyu said, "Thank you." ”

Then Hu Rui took a sip and said with a smile: "Good wine, good wine!" Good wine can dispel eternal sorrows! ”

Hongyu looked at Hu Rui and asked, "Brother Hu, what are you doing in the capital?" ”

Hu Rui took another sip and replied: "Red Hero, the three of us are going to participate in the five-year Beijing Martial Arts in a week." ”

Hongyu said: "The capital will be martial, what a coincidence, I'm also going to take a look." ”

Song Yunzhi was shocked and said, "Is the Red Hero also ready to participate?" ”

Ruby smiled:

"I'm going to join in the fun, I don't participate, I prefer lively places, so it's okay, go and have a look."

Hongyu noticed Song Yunzhi's bruised face and asked suspiciously:

"Brother Song, what's wrong with you?"

Song Yunzhi scratched his head in embarrassment:

"It's a long story."

Li Yuze said with a smile:

"He was killed, and he was beaten up."

Li Yuze laughed, revealing a row of white teeth, and his eyebrows were relaxed.

Hongyu was very curious and asked with a smile, "How did you die, you were beaten by others?" ”

Song Yunzhi scratched his head again in embarrassment: "I'm embarrassed to say it."

Hu Rui patted Song Yunzhi on the shoulder and said, "The red hero has asked, just talk about it, if you don't talk about it, I'll talk about it." ”

Hu Rui told the story again.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ruby laughed and said:

"It's a shame that you met someone who is good to talk to, otherwise you really won't be able to come back, so be careful in the future."

Song Yunzhi replied with a red face: "I know, Red Hero, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed." ”

In this way, the four of them drank from Qingqing until midnight, and they really hated to see each other late, and talked about a lot of interesting things about the rivers and lakes.

At night, the brightly lit night market, the night when the spring breeze is intoxicated, the lights by the bridge are brilliant, and the boats outside the temple are radiating.

Hongyu clenched his fists and said, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, friends." ”

Hu Rui hugged his fists and said: "Red hero, slow down on the road." ”

Li Yuze and Song Yunzhi hugged their fists and saw off Hongyu. Ruby then slowly departed, walking alone in the streets.

Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend.

After Hongyu left, Song Yunzhi asked:

"Where are we going to stay today?"

Hu Rui smiled:

"This is the capital, my hometown is here, if you don't dislike it, you can go to my place and squeeze it."

Li Yuze said:

"Okay."

Song Yunzhi said:

"Then go to Brother Hu and squeeze it."

Hu Ruidao:

"Let's go, it'll be there in about half an hour."

Song Yunzhi and Yang Yuze followed Hu Rui together.

Half an hour later, walking into the alley, a piece of bluestone paved alleyway, saw a house, wooden dark red door, clear texture, Hu Rui knocked on the door, and then saw a little girl about the age of dancing spoon opened the door.

The little girl saw a familiar face, and there was a shock on the girl's face, and then the girl laughed, and her face looked like a blooming white orchid.

The girl cried out aloud:

"Mother, my brother is back!"

At this time, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked over from the room, when the woman saw Hu Rui, she left tears, her gray hair, because of sweat on her temples wet on her face, looked tired, but her eyes were very bright.

Woman:

"Hu Rui, you're back."

Hu Rui's eyes were slightly red, and he hugged the woman:

"My mother."

Li Yuze said:

"Hello Auntie."

Song Yunzhi hurriedly said:

"Hello Auntie, we are friends of Brother Hu, and we want to stay here for a few days."

The woman laughed and said:

"Come on in, have you eaten it all? I'll cook for you. ”

Hu Rui held the woman's shoulder:

"Mother, we've all eaten."

The woman's joy blossomed:

"Hu Yi, pour water for your brothers."

The little girl named Hu Yi ran quickly:

"Okay mother."

When I entered the door, I saw that the wall had peeled off the skin of the old age, and when I crossed the threshold, there was a small courtyard, and there was a green board road in the courtyard, and there was a clearing overgrown with wild grass next to it.

Woman:

"There's no extra room, why don't you squeeze in with Hu Rui? His room was large enough to squeeze open. ”

Li Yuze said with a smile:

"Of course, we all cover a quilt when we practice martial arts."

The woman smiled and said:

"Thank you for taking care of Hu Rui in the past few years, I'll help you clean it up."

Then the woman trotted into a room with a broom. Then Li Yuze and Song Yunzhi also followed, and Song Yunzhi said:

"Auntie, let's just clean it up by ourselves, and we won't trouble you."

The woman smiled and said:

"It's not troublesome."

Hu Rui also ran up and said to the woman:

"Mother, you can rest first, let's do it."

The woman replied:

"Okay, you clean up, I'll cook for you."

Hu Ruidao:

"After eating, you can rest."

The woman asked:

"Really? Don't lie to me. ”

Song Yunzhi said:

"Auntie, I don't lie to you."

Woman:

"Okay."

Then the woman went to the main hall and put some fruit in the fruit bowl and some jugs of wine. Then the woman cried out:

"There's fruit on the table, and a few jugs of wine, so if you want to eat it, you can get it."

Then the woman continued to sew clothes in the house.

At this time, the little girl named Hu Yi pushed open Hu Rui's door, walked slowly with a bowl full of tea in both hands, put it on the stool in the room and said:

"Brothers, you wait a minute, I'll continue."

Then I ran into the room after putting it away. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Song Yunzhi said:

"What a lovely little girl."

After cleaning the room and making the bed, the little girl walked slowly with one hand in one hand and said:

"Brothers, your tea."

Li Yuze helped carry the tea, put it on the stool, touched the little girl's head and said with a smile:

"It's hard little girl."

The little girl blushed and replied:

"It's not hard."

Then he ran to his room.

Hu Ruidao:

"Let's just squeeze it, I haven't been home for a long time."

Late at night, the three young people in the room were crammed into a small bed and fell asleep.

When I am homesick, home is beautiful and warm, and the memories at home are all beautiful, even if I am scolded, it is sweet. When one day you are homeless, the coldness and sadness in your heart are speechless.

Friends who have a family cherish it, often go home to see, you are lucky to have a care and waiting.
