Chapter 185: Tying the Knot (1)
Xiao Mo carried a bamboo basket and hurried to the Taifu Temple to find Shu Yan. Because I was in the crowd of Qing Talkers just now, I listened to the way of the Xuan Buddha for a few ears, and I was delayed for a while, so I stepped up some steps at this moment.
Passing by the Dragon Stables, there is a tall shed next to it, which is the place where the Nguyen brothers and sisters tamed elephants. Xiao Mo subconsciously glanced inside the wall, and suddenly felt uncomfortable: this guy is really here again. turned around and walked in, and shouted loudly from afar: "Brother Shu, looking for you in the future, you don't have to go to your duty hall, just come to Shuimei to look for it, you can't be wrong......
She shouted as she walked towards Shu Yan. I saw seven or eight craftsmen, either squatting or bowing, each holding an axe, a saw, a rope ruler, and the like, working earnestly, and when they heard the shout just now, they all looked up at themselves in unison.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Mo regretted her recklessness, this was not at all the picture of sweet friendship between Shu Yan and the Ruan brothers and sisters she imagined, but it was like a busy craftsman scene, but these craftsmen were all squatting, blocked by a low wall, and they were not discovered by themselves in the distance.
"You're frizzy, what are you yelling about?" Shu Yan knew Xiao Mo's temperament, and he could shout out the situation of burning his eyebrows even if he was a trivial matter. He didn't hear what Xiao Mo was shouting, he looked up and asked, and continued to do his calculations.
"No, I didn't shout anything, I was going to your duty hall, and I saw that it was lively, so I ran over to take a look, it turned out that you were really here." Xiao Mo grinned and walked up to Shu Yan, "What are you doing when you're so busy?" ”
"Make elephant cars. You know, the elephant chariot is mainly used to carry more than a dozen advocates during the suburbs, and it is listed as the first to drive, except for the emperor's golden root car, it is the most important car in the entire Lu book. Shu Yan couldn't look up, and answered Xiao Mo while making calculations.
"Aren't there elephant cars? I used it during the last festival to worship the heavens, and I saw it next to the elephant house some time ago, so I put it there. Why do you have to do it? ”
"That car is too small to use."
"How so? The car is rotten and broken, and I have never heard that the car will become smaller on its own! ”
"But all two related parties must advance and retreat at the same time in order to complement each other, if the other side advances and the other side does not change, is it not the same as the own side retreating?" Shu Yan saw that Xiao Mo was a little confused by his words, and smiled, "I made a fool of myself for my brother just now, it's too metaphysical, in normal words, it is actually this: Ruan's elephant is close to adulthood, and now it is getting taller and thicker." In comparison, isn't the previous elephant car just smaller? ”
"It's just a very simple sentence that can be explained, you have to go around in circles, so you make a mystery!" Xiao Mo glanced at Shu Yan, recalled the previous elephant car, and wondered, "Bigger?" The car used to be taller than me, but now it's a behemoth to build something bigger. Don't catch up with the size of a house! It shouldn't be easy, right? Which craftsman is so capable? ”
"Who else? Of course it's your big brother Shu. Liu Bao smiled behind his back.
"Huh?" Little Merton was admiring, "Brother Shu, you have only been in charge of Chefu for a few days, and you have mastered such a complex craftsman technique?" It's amazing! ”
"Where?" Shu Yan smiled modestly, "It's just to catch the ducks on the shelves." You know, elephant cars are a rarity. At the time of Cao Wei, there were Nanyue people who sacrificed elephant taming, but they were regarded as strange beasts and refused, so that the production method of the elephant car was lost, and there is no record to check. The previous elephant chariot was also made by the craftsmen themselves, and the craftsman who led the charge has died, so I have no choice but to take the lead. ”
Xiao Mo sighed: "You are really a hard worker, you just took over this errand, and you encountered such a thorny problem." ”
"Well, it's not. This is the inaction of Tai Fuqing and his predecessor Che Fu Ling. A woman's voice said.
It was Ruan Shui. She played an elephant with her brother Ruan Shan, and after taking care of it properly, she turned to inquire about Shu Yan. Because of his recklessness just now, Xiao Mo felt a little more cordial when he saw Ruan Shui at this moment, and smiled at Ruan Shui, "How can you say this?" ”
Ruan Shui didn't look at Xiao Mo much, firstly because of Xiao Mo's strange temper and demeanor, and secondly, he always regarded him as the opposite sex. Ruan Shan then said: "It's very infuriating to say. Although the elephant brother is very tall, he also grows day by day, and it is not achieved overnight. I have repeatedly raised the issue of replacing the elephant car with the Che Fu Order, but he said that the production of the elephant car was beyond the scope of his duties, so he ignored it and delayed it again and again. The discordant gap between elephants and elephant carts is widening day by day. The last time I sacrificed to the sky, the wheel was forced into it, and when I came back, the belly on both sides of the elephant brother was worn off. The water girl was so distressed that she burst into tears. Fortunately, Brother Shu has been reappointed here, and he responded to this matter without saying a word, which solved the problem in our hearts, otherwise we don't know how to fool it. ”
Xiao Mo smiled slightly after hearing this: "Where Brother Ruan said, everyone is their own people, no wonder 'Brother Yan' and 'Brother Yan' are so affectionate, and it is also appropriate to do something for Sister Shui." ”
"The big car book represents the prestige of the Celestial Empire, and I can't be sloppy at all, I made the elephant car completely to serve the imperial court, is it because of personal feelings!"
Shu Yan's righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, and such a hard look of meditating and studying, Xiao Mo's heart instantly softened, and he said to Shu Yan with his ear: "Finish work early today, and see what good things I bring you." ”
"What?" Shu Yan saw that there was a bamboo basket in front of Xiao Mo's feet, and his heavy appearance was very different from the food box when he usually delivered food, so he stretched out his hand, lifted the cover, and saw that it was full of grapes, and said in surprise, "Ah, where did you get such fresh things?" ”
Xiao Mo hurriedly covered the cover: "What's the hurry, when you go back, you eat, I'll tell you slowly." ”
"Why wait until you go back to eat, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together. The craftsmen are working hard these days, and I don't know how to treat them, and it's the best thing that such a rarity is so fresh. Saying that, regardless of whether Xiao Mo agreed or not, he picked up the basket and shouted to everyone, "Everyone has worked hard, finish work early today, and come to me to get good food." ”
When the craftsmen heard that there was something delicious, they all put down their work one by one and swarmed around.
"Wow, grapes." Some people know.
"Wait." Everyone was just about to approach, but when they saw Zhang Chi and Liu Bao waving their hands, La Shuyan took a step back, and said in a low voice, "It's not okay to sign an order." ”
Shu Yan didn't know why: "I give grapes to everyone to eat, why not?" ”
Zhang Chi and Liu Bao glanced at each other, and secretly said to Shu Yan: "The order is the first smart person, do you still need to remind you?" What is the practical benefit of feeding such a basket of fresh grapes to these people, like throwing a copper coin into the water, and just hearing a sound at the time? People go to high places, water flows to low places, if you change the direction and send it to the Tai Fuqing, it will be very different. ”
"What kind of 'must' I should be, so that's what happened! I Shu Yan understands everything, but I don't understand this! Shu Yan laughed and beckoned, "Craftsmen come here." ”
Rao is Luoyang, which connects the world, and in the Jin Dynasty, most people still haven't eaten grapes. Some people recognize it, and some people don't even see it. To be able to eat such a fresh and exotic fruit today, even if it doesn't cost you, it's worth it. Regardless of whether they were washed or not, each person received a bunch, and the skin did not vomit, and ate it directly.
Xiao Mo was so angry at first that he couldn't do anything. However, when I saw the smiling faces of the people who received the grapes, and the even better smiles of the people who distributed the grapes when they saw the smiles of everyone, I realized the meaning of "it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all", and the anger in my heart slowly dissipated.
Sending the craftsmen back, Shu Yan finally left four strings and beckoned Xiao Mo and the Ruan brothers and sisters to return to their residences together. Ruan Shui was afraid of embarrassment because Xiao Mo didn't know when he would come up with a few unpleasant words, so he took two bunches of grapes and pulled his brother back.
Shu Yan personally fetched water and washed the grapes three times, sent a bunch to Xiao Mo's eyes, and ate the bunch by himself. The first two grains were peeled and eaten, but then it was too troublesome, so I simply added them directly to my mouth like eating roasted beans, and I was bald in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Mo ignored him at first, but when he saw this situation, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't spit out?" ”
Shu Yan's eyes widened: "You don't know that scarcity is expensive, not to mention that it is so cleanly washed, what kind of skin do you spit out?" ”
Xiao Mo knew that he cherished it because he loved to eat, so he glared at him fiercely and said: "Things are not thin, you just make it thin yourself, a basket full, only leave a bunch for yourself!" Otherwise, it will be enough for you to eat for half a month. Although his mouth was reproachful, his heart was soft, and he pushed his own string in front of him, "You can eat this string too." ”
"How can it be done, I deliberately washed it three times because I wanted you to eat it."
"That's right." Xiao Mo was delighted. 33
The two of them picked the grapes one by one. Xiao Mo was eating, and at the same time he was full of tenderness and sweetness: "You patronize and eat, don't you ask where this grape came from?" ”
"I asked you, but you refused to say anything, so you ate happily and forgot about it for a while. Tell me, 'Where did the grapes come from?' ”
"Guess what?"
"I guess, the grapes are small, and they are definitely not prepared by the Delicacies Department for the emperor and queen to eat."
"Of course not."
"Then I'll rest assured, no matter where it comes from, in short, I'll just accept your affection."
"You goose. You don't have to admit my affection, in fact, this grape has half of yourself. Xiao Mo looked at Shu Yan, who was stunned - "Have you forgotten our vineyard?" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
