Chapter 12: Darts
Xu Changshou limped down the streets of Kyoto City, enduring the biting cold wind and the fierce north wind......
"Childe, do you want to count a hexagram? Poor Dao saw that the corners of your eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, it was not a frustration in life, and the sharpness was reduced, but it was an ominous omen! ”
A fortune teller on the side of the road came out to stop Xu Changshou's whereabouts.
"I don't tell my life, don't stop me!" Xu Changshou shouted.
"Huh! Young people, it's not a good thing to be arrogant, as the saying goes: Don't be angry, don't be angry, no one will take care of you, if you can't calculate it today, you won't take your money? What do you think? ”
Xu Changshou felt that no one was urging him now, so it was a good thing to ask for a good omen, but it was another matter whether to give money anyway.
Then sit down on the bench opposite the fortune teller.
"That's right!" The man stroked his beard, then sat on Xu Changshou's side, and then looked at him.
"Poor Dao Qingping Mountain Dao people, law name Qingping."
"Childe has encountered something troublesome recently, such as interpersonal frustration, Poor Dao saw that your face was dull and yellow, and I thought that I had encountered something unspeakable. Of course, you don't have to say it, you don't have to say it. ”
The words of Qingping Daoist did speak to Xu Changshou's heart.
He just had a conflict with someone today, and the two family members who had nothing to find fault with were not in their hearts, but being stabbed horizontally did leave a bad impression on Xu Changshou.
Although he was pregnant with the Demon Suppression Pagoda and recovered faster than ordinary people, the pain of his flesh and bones was inevitable.
Xu Changshou nodded.
"The poor road has a little mana, you can draw a god exorcism talisman, which can help you get rid of distracting thoughts, only six copper coins, this so-called six six Shun!"
"No money! Forget it! Xu Changshou decisively refused, he didn't know how much he had seen in his previous life with such a sales tactic.
"Oh, don't! The old man is also a Taoist in Qingping Mountain, this talisman is still trustworthy, aren't you afraid that I will not succeed in slandering you? Qingping Taoist explained.
"If you don't want the exorcism talisman, can you get the marriage talisman? Although the poor road is not the old moon deity, it has always been very accurate to see people, and the son will have some cause and effect in the near future! ”
Xu Changshou pretended to laugh, and Qingping Daoist also laughed twice.
"Joke, I've been single for 20 years, aren't you funny!"
That being said, but Xu Changshou is still very eager for a marriage in his heart, although he married a wife and had children in his previous life, but his parents forced him, as for whether he likes it or not, he can only nod.
"Come on! You are a Taoist, and you can still help people seek marriage, isn't it funny? Xu Changshou seemed to be inexplicable.
"If you don't believe it, you will know for yourself. There are some things that must be there in life sometimes, and there is no time in life to force them! ”
"Dao Chief, don't draw a big pie, I don't know what I am like, I've been single for 20 years, and you told me that you want to get off the single?"
Qingping Daoist said that he couldn't understand such words, but he could feel that Xu Changshou didn't attach much importance to it.
"Okay! If you don't believe it, I'll sell it to others, just talismans, but you still need to experience the things outside your body, the real things. ”
Xu Changshou felt that this kind of verbal war made him feel a lot more comfortable, at least in a much better mood.
Bidding farewell to the Qingping Daoists, Xu Changshou prepared to rush back to the palace.
"There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it! Young people, life is too short, just have fun in time! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fortune teller on the street miraculously disappeared, leaving a few young leaves on the ground, and the sound of woodcutters singing loudly could be heard from the 100,000 mountains in the distance outside the city......
Kyoto, royal palace, backyard.
The sun is setting and night is falling.
Xu Changshou returned to the Wang family and saw his sister Xu Xin standing in front of the gate of the palace at a glance.
"Miss, let's go back, today is a winter bath, and the son may be drunk outside!" Rouge helped Xu Xin to stand in front of the door.
"You go back first, I'll wait!" Xu Xin breathed hot air into her hands, trying to get a trace of warmth.
"Miss, it's time to close the door!" The handyman guarding the door whispered.
"Wait!" Xu Xin's hurried voice was sympathetic.
The handyman sighed helplessly, and stood aside again to wait together.
"Eh, Childe is back!" Rouge happily tugged at Xu Xin's clothes.
Xu Xin couldn't see, she could only faintly hear footsteps, and a person was approaching her.
"Girl, are you still running outside when you're sick?" Xu Changshou immediately looked at Xu Xin.
"I'm cured!" Xu Xin said proudly, and then saw her groping and holding Xu Changshou's cold hand tightly, the relationship between the brother and sister has always been very good.
"Brother, where's your coat?" Xu Xin turned to touch Xu Changshou's thin clothes.
Xu Changshou didn't speak, but just said that he accidentally fell on the dart game.
But isn't it a menstrual holiday today? Xu Xin realized that Xu Changshou was lying to her, but she was still unwilling to expose it.
"I'll ask Aunt Zhang to make a new one for you when I go back!" Xu Xin hurriedly grabbed Xu Changshou's two ice hands, and kept snorting at his palms.
In the evening, Xu Changshou returned to the wing, the maid rouge sent a bowl of ginger soup, Xu Changshou drank it casually and fell asleep, because there was a special dart task tomorrow......
The sun rises in the east.
Xu Changshou didn't have time to eat breakfast, and he went out early in the morning after changing into a dart, and I have to say that the dart head of this dart is quite fitting, mainly in casual clothes, which is convenient for dealing with emergencies when darts.
He led the horses from the stable, took his personal sword, left through the back door of the palace, and then hurried towards the Azure Dart Bureau.
came to the Azure Dart Bureau and received the voucher for the dart from the shopkeeper Han, an employer's deed.
Then arrange a few ordinary dart masters to count the goods placed by the employer, a small number of silver taels and a lot of precious cloth, silk and silk, etc., mainly transported to the Qianjia cloth village in Chenqiao Town, Dingping County.
"The employer said that if it is delivered on time, there will be a reward. The owner of the money bank has been waiting for a long time, and you should pay more attention to the longevity. ”
Shopkeeper Han advised for a moment, and Xu Changshou nodded that there was no need to worry.
Oh, the goods are loaded, put on the dart flag, everyone from Yongle County Tianqing Dart Bureau, lasted three days and three nights, and will eventually arrive at the Qianjia cloth village in Chenqiao Town, under the jurisdiction of Dingping County, along the way there are Xu Darthead to follow, responsible for opening the way for everyone in front, Xu Dart head can be regarded as an old employee, he has a set of his own dart principles.
Xu Changshou is commonly known as the "three non-living": not living in a new store, not living in a shop that changes hands, and not living in a prostitution shop. ”
Whew, it's all experience...... If you don't eat the old man's words, you will suffer in front of you, and sometimes that's it.
If you want to make money, you must first avoid women.
As for Xu Changshou, who is a newborn calf, his job is to assist Xu Darttou in managing the order of the dart division team and ensuring the integrity of the goods entrusted by the employer.
Suddenly, the team of dart masters began the long journey of darts.
……
The sun lifted the top and went to an official road in Kyoto, where several luxurious carriages were encountered......
Looking down from top to bottom, it looks like a winding dragon, and from a distance, it is so powerful and extraordinary.
Among the several luxurious carriages, there are a few exquisite and beautiful carriages.
The middle one, drawn by four brown horses, has a strong physique, a strong mane on its back, and a look of loyalty and loyalty in the horse's eyes.
In addition to the majestic horses, the second is the eye-catching luxury carriage.
The costume is exquisite and beautiful, the four corners of the roof show the appearance of cornices, and each of the four corners has a finely carved Luan phoenix, which is exquisite and elegant, like a fairy bird.
On the left and right sides of the carriage there was a curtain woven of pale cyan silk, which seemed to flow naturally in the breeze.
"Your Highness, do we need to trim for a while, we have been walking for many days, and the soldiers are tired!"
A middle-aged man wearing a silver helmet and a white robe and a general's uniform rode a white horse to stop in front of the extraordinarily prosperous carriage in the middle, and asked the people in the carriage.
"Well, this palace is also tired, General Gongsun, wait for me to ask the teacher!"
In the middle of nowhere, a woman's gentle voice came from inside the luxury carriage......
"Hongu En's permission, let everyone find a place to rest, and set off for Kyoto after the repair is completed."
"Yes!"
The white-robed general then retreated from the team and arranged for the team to change formations, preparing to find a temporary resting place......
The general's name was Gongsun Mu, the imperial guard of the Great Xia Emperor, and now a general in charge, accompanying the second princess from southern Xinjiang to Kyoto.
In the bustling carriage in the middle of the procession, an adult girl in a golden Luo skirt held a cup of tea in her hand.
Beside her, in addition to a book, there was a jade-colored sword inlaid with agate jade.
The woman's skin is better than snow, the black hair hangs down her shoulders, the melon seed face beauty has an extraordinary temperament, and the golden step is swaying in the bumps of the carriage, which is particularly eye-catching, in addition, the pair of clear and bright pupils contain a pair of soul-dementoring eyes - translucent and exquisite, and the demeanor of everyone is full of demeanor, and the stunning appearance also reveals the queen-like temperament.
Princess Ziqing, the second princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, is worthy of her real name......
The person next to her is Yingluo, a personal girl who serves her every day, and her dress is no different from that of an ordinary rich daughter.
Sitting across from him was an old man with gray hair.
In the twilight of his life, his face is furrowed and horizontal, but he has the posture of a sub-saint, wearing a white robe, highlighting everyone's demeanor and the body of the leader.
He is the teacher of Princess Ziqing and the dean of Kyoto Yunjiang Academy, Jiang Lan, one of the most respected Confucian Confucian today, it is rumored that this great Confucian has entered the realm of sub-sage, but no one knows.
"Teacher, are we in a hurry to go to Kyoto?" Princess Ziqing asked her teacher Jiang Lan.
"The matter of opportunity, but it is obtained by the pioneers, the heavenly sacrifice is coming, not to mention the matter of cultivation for the time being, His Royal Highness has been wandering in southern Xinjiang for more than 18 years, and it is time to come back and see."
Jiang Lan touched his beard and said with a smile.
"I don't know, your uncle, what kind of care has my academy become, the old man planted the bamboo when he left, if he is told to die, the old man will not give up!"
Jiang Lan snorted.
"If the teacher likes it, every few days, I will ask my father to give you a few plants." Princess Ziqing replied.
"It's not necessary, the old man is finally away from the officialdom, and Hugh wants to get involved in anything else, if His Royal Highness has a heart, the old man should accept it, if the saint makes a move, the meaning will change!"
The old man laughed a few times, and the maid Yingluo poured tea for him.
……
"Your Highness, if it's late today, there is an inn in front of you, which can be temporarily repaired!" Gongsun Mu reported a few times.
"Got it." After Princess Ziqing simply agreed, the snake-like team began to adjust their formation and head to the inn not far away.
Meanwhile, night falls......
Xu Changshou, who had been on a day's trip, was already tired.
Xu Darttou settled down and everyone temporarily lit a fire in an open area, set up a tent, and prepared to take turns to watch the night......
The black curtain shrouded the earth, and Xu Changshou vaguely felt that the small bronze tower in his head seemed to be a little restless......
