Chapter 18: Yuan Benying
Zhang Keji scolded and returned to Yang's mansion, Yang Wencong was talking about poetry with his staff Xing Fang, this Xing Fang is a famous person in the world, nine-year-old can write, thirteen-year-old can poetry, nineteen-year-old Xiucai was admitted to Xiucai, but the subsequent encounter was the same as Yang Wencong's repeated failures. But Yang Wencong has an uncle-in-law who carries shoes, and he has no one in the court, so he can only be a guest of honor.
Zhang Keji has followed Yang Wencong for many years, and knows that he can't be disturbed when he talks about poetry and papers with his friends, so even if there is a big thing, he can only wait quietly outside, and after waiting for a while, he sees a porter come in to report, "Zhang Wuye, the small one wants to disturb you, there is a Taoist priest outside the door, and he said that it is the old man of the master, and the small one does not dare to deal with it without authorization, so he is here to report!" ”
"An old man?" Zhang Keji was a little dazed, but when he thought that his master was not taboo in meat and vegetarian and made friends with everyone, he had to get up and follow out, "Let's go, go and see!" ”
When the two came to the outer courtyard, they saw a Taoist priest with a straight waist and a childish face who was enjoying the scenery in the garden, Zhang Keji thought carefully for a long time, and didn't remember where he had seen him, so he walked up and shouted, "What are you doing here, my lord doesn't know you!" If you want to turn into a relationship, Wang Liu, give him a few coins and silver. ”
Lao Dao didn't care when he heard it, stroked his snow-white hair, and said with a smile while arching his hand, "But Zhang Wulang, you don't recognize Poor Dao, Poor Dao will always remember you!" ”
Zhang Keji saw that he called his name directly, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he heard the old Taoist explain with a smile, "Five years ago in Yongjia, the old Taoist was just a traveling Taoist priest at that time......
"Oh, I remember, it's you!" Zhang Keji remembered the sloppy and sloppy liar five years ago, who had no last meal, and could only rely on cheating everywhere to satisfy his stomach, and finally was twisted to the county government and beaten a board, and couldn't help but be stunned, "You're not...... No...... How do you do a Taoist priest, do you have to get the immortal enlightenment? ”
"No, no!" Lao Dao's face immediately showed an expression of participating in the Remembrance Meeting, "I think that the poor Dao spell was driven down the mountain by the master to practice before it was achieved, and after all, it encountered a catastrophe, if it wasn't for Yang Xianzun to be the leader, how could the poor Dao be today?" ”
Although this guy has changed his outfit, but in fact, the inside has not changed at all, he is still the original dead liar, Zhang Keji wanted to laugh when he heard him speak, "Oh, so our master made you enlightened with a board?" ”
Lao Dao's face is not ordinarily thick, and he pretended not to know about his ridicule, but he still looked like a master of the Tao, and said with a smile, "That's right, Poor Dao came to thank the county master today, and gave the county master a great fortune." ”
Zhang Keji reminded, "My lord is no longer a county honor, and now he is a nobleman in the Ministry of Rites, so you should stop calling 'county respect' and 'county respect'." ”
"Oh...... I didn't think that I hadn't seen him for five years, and the eldest lord had been classified as a noble official of the Ministry of Rites, which was really gratifying, and the poor road was congratulated by the eldest lord! Lao Dao had actually heard that Yang Wencong had been promoted, but he still pretended to be surprised and said, "When Poor Dao met the eldest lord, he predicted that the eldest lord was born noble and his future was limitless. ”
Seeing him talking eloquently in front of him, Zhang Keji suddenly had a lot of doubts in his heart, he knew the details of this person very well, but he was just a charlatan, he was supposed to be sentenced to be confiscated after being twisted to the yamen, but his own lord didn't know which string was wrong, so he only beat him and threw him into a prison cell for a few days before quietly letting him go, and afterwards he also claimed that he was a move to love the people, which made the people of the entire county government guess for a long time.
Seeing that this guy appeared again, and behaved extremely calmly, Zhang Keji didn't dare to ask him anymore, and asked carefully, "The Taoist chief said earlier that there was a rich and noble gift to my master, what kind of wealth is there, might as well tell me about it?" ”
Lao Dao took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Don't say, don't say it, please ask Zhang Wulang to report one or two for the poor Dao, just say that Xianxia Taoist Yuan Benying is here to give the order, and the eldest master will meet me." ”
"Order?" Zhang Keji took the silver and asked suspiciously, "What order?" ”
Yuan Benying still shook her head, "Don't say it!" ”
Seeing that he was so sure, thinking of his master's strange behavior of letting people go before, Zhang Keji had no choice but to decide to take a risk.
Came to the study with a stomach full of questions, Xing Fang had already left, Yang Wencong was drinking tea alone, listening to his report, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, took a sip of tea to suppress the anger in his heart, and sneered, "It turns out that Yuan Daochang is here, please come in." ”
"What a story!" Zhang Keji was shocked and hurriedly ran outside to call Yuan Benying in, but Yuan Benying's performance after entering the house surprised him. I saw that as soon as this guy saw Yang Wencong, he tore off his sanctimonious face, and kowtowed as soon as his knees were weak, "The villain Yuan Benying has seen the big man, and I heard that the big man has successfully recovered, and now he is the middle of the Ministry of Rites, and the villain is congratulating the big man." ”
"Villain?" Zhang Keji's mouth opened wide, "Didn't you still call yourself poor just now, how did you become a villain in the blink of an eye?" ”
Yang Wencong was not surprised, waved his hand to signal him to withdraw, and then shouted, "What a thief, you swept away the old man's silver, and you dare to come back to see me?" ”
Yuan Benying continued to kowtow, "The big man is wronged, villain...... The villain is back to his life. ”
"Resurrection?" Yang Wencong sneered, "It's been five years, and you only want to recover now, are you running out of money, and you want to come to pit the old man?" ”
It turned out that five years ago, he was infected with the epidemic in Renzhi County, Yongjia, and it took a long time to recover, but after he recovered, he found that he was not good at that aspect, and he was allowed to be tired and nauseous and vomit the next day, and he had to rest for ten days and half a month to recover. And he was in the prime of life at the time, how could he not be tempted when he saw a beauty? Therefore, while enduring the torture of illness, he did not hesitate to save the working people, and after a few months, he was in a state of disarray, and the wind was about to fall, and no matter how much he extended the medical treatment, it had no effect.
Yuan Benying hit his muzzle at this moment, although the eldest lord sitting in the hall was very majestic, he still saw his illness at a glance, and secretly offered two pills through the jailer, Yang Wencong quickly relieved his symptoms after eating it, and he recovered as usual after a course of treatment. In the face of such strange things, he naturally appreciated it greatly, and immediately exempted him from punishment.
Yuan Benying has been in the market for 20 years, and finally got a tie with the county, how can she give up easily? After gaining his initial trust, he immediately said that the county lord's illness was very serious, and his pills could only relieve the symptoms, but could not cure them completely. If you want to completely cure it, you must use another prescription, under his smallpox drunken flicker, Yang Wencong promised to give him a sum of silver, let him help him dispense medicine, but he never returned, until now he appeared.
Seeing that Yang Wencong's anger value had been full, Yuan Benying hurriedly took out a silver ingot from the dusty Taoist robe and offered it with both hands, "The eldest lord is Rongqi, the villain is not deceiving the lord, he really wants to find a good medicinal material for the eldest lord, in the past five years, the villain has searched all over the three mountains and five mountains, I don't know how many roads he has walked, how many rivers he has crossed, and he finally lived up to his expectations, and finally found all the medicinal materials for you, so he dared to give the order." You see, this is the silver you gave to the villain at that time, and the villain didn't touch a penny? ”
Looking at the large ingot of silver, Yang Wencong suddenly let down most of his vigilance, and said suspiciously, "Oh...... So you've found it? ”
In the past five years, although he is in good health, he has always felt that his majesty is not as good as before, especially after Ma Jiao entered the house, which greatly emptied his capital, and he was originally ready to put his sister-in-law Ma Neen into the house, but now he is even more powerless, hoping that there are no tears. Hearing that he had finally found an immortal prescription for himself, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and shouted, "What about the medicine?" ”
Yuan Benying hurriedly took out a gourd from the blanket and carefully offered it, "The villain of the recipe has it in mind, this is recorded, this is the pill prepared according to the method recorded in the recipe, the villain has tried it many times, and it does have a miraculous effect." ”
Looking at a few black pills, Yang Wencong hesitated, "Is it really effective?" ”
Yuan Benying hurriedly packed the ticket and said, "It's true, it's really wonderful!" ”
Yang Wencong really wanted to eat one now, but this guy was really an eyesore, so he had to send him away first, he looked at his rolling eyes, and sneered, "I'm afraid you came back this time not all to recover your life." ”
Yuan Benying saw that he didn't blame himself anymore, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe...... The big man is discerning, and the little one admires it very much. Little Heard...... Well...... I heard ......"
Yang Wencong's eyes widened, "If you have something to say, just say it clearly, why bother spitting, the old man is busy, how can he have time to listen to you play the piano!" ”
Yuan Benying knew that he was a person who didn't like to beat around the bush, and said with a smile, "When the villain traveled in Zhejiang, he heard that when he was picking draft girls today, the villain calculated it, and he was so eager to take the throne for two months, and the villain guessed that he must be a person who loves beauty, so he came to the big lord to offer the treasure party, one can help the lord to get the holy favor, enter the cabinet as soon as possible, and the other is that the little one can also follow the master to run for a future and glorify the ancestors." ”
This was said bluntly, but Yang Wencong was furious when he heard it, "When today's Zisheng Ming candle shines, choosing a concubine is just a common practice, why do you say all those pickled things?" You dare to criticize you in front of the court officials, you really should be beaten! ”
Yuan Benying saw that his words were categorical, but there was no movement in his hand at all to know that there was a way to do this, and continued to smile and said, "The villain really should be beaten, he should be beaten, how can the villain have the blessing to see the face of the sky, so he came to ask the master." The old man is a noble man of the villain, and if it wasn't for the big man who loves the little one, the little one may have died in a foreign country, how dare he think about it? The villain has already made an oath in his heart that he will be a lackey next to the big man in this life......"
Yang Wencong watched his performance quietly, but he was thinking about the situation that Zhang Keji had just reported, and his heart couldn't help but move, "You get up, the old man just has an errand to order you, and if you do it well, the old man will take you in, if you don't do it well, don't blame the old man for not remembering the old feelings!" ”
