Chapter 6 Unworldly
Seeing the immortals in the clouds, holding the hibiscus towards Yujing.
This Guiyun Inn is not the average second than the post station of that day, the door number is high, the door is three feet wide, after entering the door, there are about two classrooms in the hall, in the middle of the wall is a square high platform, around the high platform placed more than 20 small low tables, it is lunch time, but only a few tables of people sit sporadically.
Yang Xin looked at these people kneeling at the low table, and suddenly realized that it was not appropriate for her to sit cross-legged before. followed the shopkeeper, pulled Ah Yan to find a small table with no one in the corner, and also learned to sit down on his knees. Although there was a mat in front of the low table, it was still hard, and there were too many people at the moment, so I had to endure it. Looking at Ah Yan again, but standing timidly, Yang Xin knew that she was worried, and said softly: "Yan'er, don't be afraid, sit down, it's okay!" ”
While sitting down, Ah Yan pointed to a man holding a drum and dressed in fancy clothes on the high platform and said excitedly, "Sister Xin'er, is that Haiyou?" ”
"Haiyu? What is it? Yang Xin said in her heart. looked at the man in the stands who was telling a story, and immediately knew, isn't this Mr. Storyteller? nodded with a smile and praised: "Yan'er knows so much!" ”
Hearing the praise, Ah Yan's face was full of joy. The shopkeeper secretly looked at the barefoot Ah Yan on the side, looking at her old cloth robe with holes and patches, just showing a trace of disdain, but cast a stern gaze at Yang Xin, and immediately bowed her head and said, "What does the little lady want?" ”
Yang Xin was annoyed that he looked down on Ah Yan, glanced at him, and asked coldly, "What is the delicious introduction?" ”
The shopkeeper replied respectfully: "The sweet bean porridge is newly boiled today, the meat soup is delicious, and the cake bait is newly made today......"
"Meat? What meat? Porcine? Yang Xin calmed her face and raised her voice.
The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
"Except for meat, let's bring up the speed you just said." Yang Xin's sudden cold appearance not only frightened the shopkeeper, but also scared Ah Yan. The shopkeeper trotted away, and Ah Yan lowered her head and grabbed her little hands and didn't dare to look around.
Yang Xin saw her little appearance, and said softly: "Yan'er is not afraid, I am angry with him, and my sister will not murder you." ”
"Really?" Ah Yan was a little unconvinced.
"Really" Yang Xin nodded seriously, and Ah Yan smiled at this time, and continued to look east and west. After a while, I saw the two shopkeepers coming over with their hands holding the tray high, respectfully putting down the tray in front of Yang Xin and Ah Yan, and saying "Little lady, please use it slowly" before leaving.
Seeing the food, Ah Yan was a little excited, but seeing that Yang Xin didn't move, her outstretched little hand hovered in mid-air. Yang Xin said with a smile: "Silly boy, let go of eating!" Fill your belly! ”
Hearing this, Ah Yan excitedly grabbed the cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Yang Xin saw that she was eating well, and she also picked up the cake and tasted it, the burnt yellow skin, put it in her mouth, there was a lotus leaf fragrance, glutinous. Then taste the sweet bean porridge, millet, rice, red beans, mung beans boiled, this is clearly the lack of sugar eight-treasure porridge. Yang Xin was infinitely emotional, was enjoying it, and was suddenly startled by the sound of a drum on the high platform, and the man dressed in fancy clothes on the stage looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a story about the tail life, according to legend, there is a person named the tail life in this Lu country Qubu, he is a fellow villager with the sage Confucius." ”
Hearing this, the big stone hanging in Yang Xin's heart fell, Confucius, Weisheng, then this time travel is not an empty history, this is indeed a certain dynasty in China. So he listened carefully to the story: "This tail is young, handsome, one day, he went to Liangdi, where he met a young and beautiful girl. This gentleman and lady eyebrows, talked very happily, and privately made a lifelong bet. However, the girl's parents disliked the poor family and resolutely opposed this family business. For the sake of her beloved, the girl decided to elope behind her parents' back and return to her hometown in Qufu with her last child. On that day, the two agreed to meet by a wooden bridge outside Hancheng, and they both flew away. As a result, the girl didn't come, and Oyu stood on the bridge and waited, and was drowned by the rising river! Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this tail is a fool? He is also a fellow villager of the Sage Kong, has he insulted the name of the sage in vain! You're right? ”
Hearing the ridicule of the storyteller on the stage, the word fool made Yang Xin really uncomfortable, this tail was obviously a rare and trustworthy person in Chinese history, how did he become a fool. This wrong preaching must be unacceptable, Yang Xin blurted out: "No! ”
Hearing this, the haiyu on the stage knocked down the drum with a "bang", and the crowd was suddenly quiet, attracted by this sound. That Hai You looked Yang Xin up and down with a pair of mouse eyes, and her lewd gaze stopped directly on her face, and said with a smile: "This little lady, what's wrong?" ”
Yang Xin followed his gaze, suddenly became angry, and directly ridiculed: "The well frog sees it, but I only know one but I don't know the other!" And he didn't want to deal with him.
When I heard this, this Haiyu restrained his smile, but he didn't give up, and said extremely scoundrelly: "I also said where did the gentleman give me, it turned out to be a big girl!" I don't know the girl's age, Xu is not married, you are not right, you have to make a reason today, otherwise, hehe......" The crowd laughed.
Yang Xin blurted out the word "no" on the spur of the moment just now, I didn't want to be familiar with him, but looking at his thiefy eyes, the words he said were like a hooligan in the market, how could he have half a point of reading, no matter how good his patience was, he couldn't help but get angry at the moment, how could he suppress his arrogance!
Yang Xin stood up, adjusted her breath, and said slowly: "Everyone, please listen to me carefully, that day, at dusk, Osheng came to the bridge in advance to wait. Unexpectedly, God suddenly became angry, the sky was full of black clouds, the wind blew down the trees, and the heavy rain became more and more fierce! Guys, guess what Oyo is doing? He remembered the oath he had made to the girl, and he was still standing on the bridge! After a while, there was a heavy flood, and the rolling river swept in mud and sand, flooding the bridge deck and reaching Oyu's knees. Tail life, looking around, the world is full of water, where is there a trace of the girl? It's all like this, guess what? He still hasn't left! Hold on to the bridge pillars and end up drowning alive! Anyway, this tail was drowned in the water, do you know why that girl didn't come? ”
"Why don't you come?" The crowd shouted.
Yang Xin adjusted her breath and continued: "It turns out that day, the girl was about to leave home, but who knew that her mother was discovering and knowing that her daughter was going to elope, it was okay, so she was imprisoned at home!" The girl looked at the pouring rain outside, and was really worried about the last life, and finally waited until the night, while everyone was asleep, escaped from the house, and came to the bridge outside the city in the rain, at this time the flood had gradually receded, and the girl saw the tail life who died clinging to the bridge pillar, in order to wait for his beloved, he did not leave until death! The girl was crying and weeping as she hugged the corpse of Oshi, and was overwhelmed with grief! It's only been a short day, and the yin and yang are separated, and there is no more laughter in this world, no more voice, no more concern, and no more temperature! The vow that the two will not be separated for the rest of their lives is obviously still in their ears, but why is there no last life? Is there anything more miserable in the world than this? Tired of crying, the girl actually threw herself into the rolling river with Oyu, and she and Osheng were finally together forever! ”
Yang Xin glanced at everyone and found that there were tears in someone's eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart: It seems that the effect is good, my Chinese teacher is not in vain, and the basic skills of storytelling seem to be good in this strange era. After a pause, he continued: "Everyone, do you still think Oo is stupid? He kept his oath to meet the girl, and the girl also kept her vow to never leave him. When the flood came, it was not easy for him to leave? But he kept an oath with his life, and I ask you, how many of them can do it? Is this tail still stupid? He used his life to realize the Sage Kong's 'words must be done, and deeds must be fruitful'! ”
The crowd burst into applause, and the Haiyou, who was originally arrogant, turned red at the moment, and quietly slipped off the stage and hid in the backyard. Yang Xin secretly thought that her modern preaching skills were put in ancient times, and the effect seemed to be good. He no longer paid attention to everyone's eyes, sat down generously and continued to eat his own food.
Ah Yan excitedly kept praising and praising "Sister Xin'er is so amazing!" Your story is so good! Yang Xin waved her hand to interrupt her words and said, "Eat silently, sleep silently." Don't talk when you eat, concentrate on eating. Ah Yan wanted to say something, but she had to swallow it.
At this time, a somewhat fat middle-aged man came to Yang Xin's table, and wanted to say something, but he happened to hear Yang Xin's words to educate Ah Yan, so he looked at her with his hands behind his back and with a smile.
Yang Xin faintly felt a little hairy, looked up at this smiling face, and was stunned, thinking that this person had eaten something for a long time, and asked embarrassedly: "Is there anything wrong with the honorable driver?" ”
"The little lady is so literary and eloquent!" The fat man complimented.
Yang Xin waved her hand and said modestly: "It's too good." ”
The fat man smiled and introduced: "The contemptible person is the shopkeeper of this house. The surname is Jin, and the word is Xinxin. ”
"Well, the golden shopkeeper!" Yang Xin didn't know why, and said in her heart: The inn was originally called the house, and the signboard at the door only had the word Guiyun, I really didn't understand these titles, but the name of the boss was good! Jin, Xin, how much does that cost! Thinking of this, I thought of the settlement that day and asked, "How many days are my sisters going to live here, I don't know how much it costs to eat and stay every day?" ”
The golden shopkeeper rubbed his stomach and said with a smile: "The little lady's words are really ashamed. The contemptible person has a reluctant request, I wonder if the little lady can agree? ”
"What's the matter? You said? Yang Xin looked at him in surprise.
The golden shopkeeper's eyes rolled twice, and he said carefully: "The contemptible wants to invite the little lady to tell a story here," paused, glanced at Yang Xin, and saw that her expression had not changed and continued: "The little lady's food and accommodation here are all responsible for the contemptible people, I don't know if I can agree?" ”
Yang Xin frowned, shook her head and said, "I'm not bad for money!" ”
When the golden shopkeeper heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Ask the little lady to help the contemptible people, the little lady tells this story well, and there will be many guests coming after today!" ”
Yang Xin shook her head again and said, "That's your business." ”
The golden shopkeeper's face was even more anxious, and he almost knelt down, and said repeatedly: "Little lady, please!" ”
Yang Xin just wanted to refuse, but suddenly a voice came: "Xiaosheng thinks that Mr. can agree, Mr.'s story has the power of enlightening people's hearts, Mr. will not hesitate to give it, that will be the blessing of people in this world!" ”
Yang Xin turned his head, Liu Xin was already standing beside him with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a look of expectation in his eyes, and then thinking of the blessings of people in this world in his words, his heart was touched, he came to ancient times to teach with the knowledge of modern people, if he could leave something to help them, it would be better than walking in vain! The attitude couldn't help but soften, nodded slowly, and said to the gold shopkeeper: "Okay, I promise you!" ”
Hearing the satisfactory answer, the golden shopkeeper hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, little lady, I will help you arrange a guest room to ensure that you are satisfied!" The shopkeeper thought that this person did not add conditions, so he agreed, but it was much better than the original Haiyou, and he picked up a big bargain in his heart, and he was so happy.
Yang Xin secretly looked at Liu Xin, and found that this person only lowered his eyebrows when he talked to him, and he usually unconsciously revealed a sense of arrogance, thinking that he would have to teach him one day. From the time of divination, this person seemed to know that he was not from here, but he was not sure, so he asked in a low voice: "Zijun, what do you understand in this world?" ”
Liu Xin replied respectfully: "Mr. is not from this world!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Xin's heart was shocked, she really guessed correctly, and she had a lot of questions to ask at the moment, but Ah Yan was still on the side, so she could only endure it first, looked at Ah Yan and said, "Yan'er and Boss Jin will clean up the guest room first, and your brother Zijun and I will go out to buy clothes." ”
Ah Yan was a little worried, and looked at Yang Xin for a while before saying, "Sister won't leave me and not come back, right?" ”
"No, don't worry!" Yang Xin touched Ah Yan's head, asked Xiao Er to find the golden shopkeeper and said, "Trouble the golden shopkeeper to help me take care of my sister first, I'll come when I go." ”
The golden shopkeeper thought that there was something wrong, but when he heard that it was such a small matter, he agreed with a smile, and Ah Yan was relieved.
Yang Xin and Liu Xin walked out of the inn, and Liu Xin asked, "Where does Mr. want to take Xiaosheng?" ”
"Buy clothes!" Yang Xin said as she walked.
"Xiao Sheng thought that Mr. was lying to the child."
Yang Xin shook her head and said, "Look what she's wearing!" Poor baby! ”
Liu Xin was puzzled and continued: "But it should be the servant of the gentleman, who has only served the master, how can there be a servant of the master?" ”
Yang Xin replied with a smile: "She is not my maid, you, me, and she are all equal, everyone is an independent individual, and they all deserve to be respected." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xin almost bowed down, everyone is equal and deserves to be respected, which is extremely respectful in ancient times, such words are tantamount to groundbreaking and shocking theories, but she said so plainly, the person she follows is indeed a saint, and her heart is even more determined to follow Yang Xin's heart.
Yang Xin didn't know the ups and downs in his heart, looked around and no one was paying attention, and asked in a low voice, "What dynasty is it now?" ”
"Han Dynasty."
"Han! Great Han Dynasty! More than 2,000 years ago! This crossing! Yang Xin held back the excitement in her heart and continued to ask, "Who is the emperor?" ”
Liu Xin looked at the surroundings and replied quietly: "The first emperor Yuan Emperor has just died, and the crown prince Liu Biao succeeded to the throne for Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. ”
"Emperor Yuan, the new emperor Liu Biao......" Yang Xin was a little disappointed, and thought that it was Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was studying literature, and only knew these famous emperors, and I couldn't figure out who this Yuan Emperor was. I was a little unwilling in my heart, and continued to ask, "Is there any special story?" ”
"Yes. In the first month of the third year of Jianzhao, Emperor Yuan sent troops to attack the Xiongnu Zhi Zhi Shan in the army, won a complete victory, and also hung the Zhi Zhi Shan on the city wall to show the world. ”
Hearing this, Yang Xin was excited, this sentence "Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away!" "Thousands of years later, in the modern age, it still makes people's blood boil! The territory of Greater China has been inviolable since ancient times!
Unconsciously, the two of them have walked to the ready-to-wear shop, and the owner of the ready-to-wear shop greeted with a smile: "Look inside the little lady, all kinds of silk cloth, skirts, robes, scarlets, foot clothes, and shoes are available in the shop, if you are not satisfied, the shop can be tailored for you." ”
Yang Xin was very curious, looking east and west, this dress skirt and pants, long, short, linen, cloth, silk, and even the clothes in the store are only short, unlike their own ankle-length, and they don't seem to be as warm and comfortable as the clothes on their bodies. After asking the boss, I realized that what I was wearing was made of the best white fox skin, which was rare, and with such a size, it was even more rare, and this piece of clothing alone could be worth at least ten houses. Yang Xin is speechless, no wonder people respect her so much everywhere, sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles! It seems that the boy I met on the mountain is not simple!
Yang Xin pondered about this Han Dynasty dress for a long time, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the style was really simple, and in the end, only the Liuxian skirt made her like, like a modern pleated skirt, and she put on a blouse, which didn't seem to be so ancient, so she picked a few sets for herself and Ah Yan, winter clothes, summer clothes, and fur clothes. It seems that no matter what dynasty it is, the attraction of this dress to women is incomparably great. Look at the shoes again, the pointed toe is actually upturned, and it is actually a square mouth, which looks a little like a boat. The most expensive is called Wenshoe, the upper is silk weaving, and the upper is embroidered with flowers, and the price is expensive. Yang Xin was a little reluctant to just embroider flowers on the cloth, so she picked out a pair of simple leather shoes and linen foot clothes for herself and Ah Yan, at least like modern leather shoes and socks. Finally do a good job, most of the copper coins in the cloth bag have been gone, Yang Xin sighed in her heart, this money is like flowing water, and she is ashamed to say that it is not bad money, it seems that you have to find a way to talk to him about the problem of wages.
Liu Xin outside the store was already impatient, Yang Xin was also the first time in his life to let a man accompany him to go shopping and buy clothes, but he didn't expect it to take so long, and he handed over the fur he had just bought for him with guilt, stuck out his tongue at him with a smile and said, "I've kept you waiting!" ”
Liu Xin took the clothes and froze in place: this is the first time in his life that he has received a gift from a woman, but isn't this woman a gentleman? How can any gentleman do this to his students? Yes, she just said that everyone is equal and everyone deserves respect.
Yang Xin thought he was unhappy, and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Liu Xin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Xiaosheng doesn't dare to be angry with Mr. But he didn't explain what he was thinking.
The two were walking on the way back to the inn, and Yang Xin suddenly asked, "What is the most profitable in this dynasty?"
"Make money?" Liu Xin looked dazed, and replied with a wry smile: "Xiaosheng doesn't know, Xiaosheng's family is poor, and he makes a living by divination. ”
Yang Xin's interest did not decrease at all, and he counted with his fingers, this divination is one hundred yuan, the Liuxian skirt just now is one thousand two hundred yuan, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things, it seems that it is more cost-effective to sell clothes! Thinking crankily at the moment, he casually asked Liu Xin about some daily life and returned to the inn.
Before she walked in the door, Ah Yan trotted up to meet her, and when she saw the clothes she bought, she cried happily, Yang Xin looked at her, touched her head, and comforted softly: "Silly child, don't cry, my sister won't let you suffer anymore in the future!" Liu Xin stood aside, looked at Yang Xin, and admired it even more.
The three of them walked into the backyard together, which was actually a two-story attic, a large patio with two luxuriant elm trees planted in the patio, a large round water tank at each of the four corners of the garden, and an extremely long corridor connecting the houses on all sides.
Liu Xin looked at the layout in the garden and said to himself: "The soil in the atrium, the tree in the courtyard, the east of the fire pond, the gold of the gatepost, and the wealth is like water." ”
Ah Yan listened to Liu Xinian's words, but she didn't understand a word, she wanted to ask questions but didn't dare, and forcibly endured her curiosity. This scene happened to be seen by Yang Xin, so she also responded softly: "Zijun is talking about this backyard gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, all five elements, and this water tank plays a role in gathering wealth!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xin was shocked at the moment, looked at Yang Xin in disbelief, and smiled with relief a few seconds later. The ups and downs in her heart quickly calmed down, and Yang Xin didn't ask, she knew in her heart that if she wanted to conquer a person who was extremely conceited, she naturally had to use what he was good at to make him admire. This divination feng shui is already mysterious, but now it seems that he, the fur that modern people know, has bluffed this ancient fortune teller into a daze, and now he should have regarded himself as a god who knows everything, and he won't say anything.
When I entered the guest room, there were two rooms. Yang Xin is a little unbelievable, this suite has been there since ancient times, although there is no sofa, coffee table and TV, but the small table, mat, couch, basin, mirror are fully matched, and there is a large wooden barrel for bathing behind the curtain in the back room. It was the first time for Ah Yan to see such a luxurious house, and she was excited to touch around. Yang Xin remembered that she had only seen her like this, but it had only been a day, but her mood was completely different. Seeing that Liu Xin seems to have a lot of things to ask, he knows in his heart that he can't be anxious, he has to leave some mystery. So he arranged for the shopkeeper to fetch water to bathe, and Liu Xin had to retreat.
Yang Xin, who was soaked in the barrel, closed her eyes and looked back on what happened in the past two days, it was really like a world away. It shouldn't be called a daze, he did come to another life, only two days, but too many unbearable things happened, the burned down station, the kind old man and the old lady, when he didn't know how at all, fortunately now with two people around him, the suffocating past will be forgotten, and he can no longer be so lonely.
