Chapter 250: Another Name
Regarding Chen Shishi's answer, Xu Boan was puzzled.
Even ordinary farmers know the story, but Chen Shishi, an Oiran who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, knows nothing about it, isn't it a bit too unworthy of the name?
Xu Boan couldn't figure it out.
However, hearing Chen Shishi ask what "Journey to the West" is, although Xu Boan was surprised, he still replied casually: "I don't know, this "Journey to the West" is a story, simply put, it is a story of a monk taking a monkey and a pig to the west to learn scriptures!"
Xu Bo'an's answer was very perfunctory, but Chen Shishi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "Learn scriptures from the west? Grandpa the mountain god, what are you talking about, but the story of Master Tang Sanzang and the four masters and apprentices including the Monkey King and the Monkey King, plus the white dragon horse, went through the demon tribulation to the west to learn the scriptures? ”
Xu Bo'an was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little confused for a while, and subconsciously responded: "Yes, it's this story." You know? ”
Hearing Chen Shishi's words, Xu Bo'an was even more puzzled.
What do you mean, don't you know it clearly? Why did you just say you don't know?
Chen Shishi suddenly realized: "Grandpa the mountain god forgives his sins, it is the little girl who is shallow in learning." The little woman is right to know this story, but the name of this story is not "Journey to the West", but "Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West".
Therefore, the little woman didn't react for a while, so she mistakenly answered the words of the mountain god's grandfather. The little woman's thinking is not sensitive, and she is really ashamed that she failed to comprehend the meaning of the mountain god's grandfather in time. ”
"Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West"?
No problem.
Xu Bo'an also knew this name, and the professor talked about it in the elective course when he was in college.
This is the original name of "Journey to the West"!
It's just that in the twentieth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, because the "Journey to the West" published by Shidetang was widely known at that time, it gradually had the simplified name of "Journey to the West".
And with the passage of time, the easy-to-understand and simple name of "Journey to the West" has been accepted by everyone, but few people know the original name of "Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West".
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an's mind moved slightly.
From this incident, it can be seen that the version of the story "Journey to the West" that people in the bonsai world know should be before the publication of "Journey to the West with Big Characters Newly Carved Like an Official Board" in the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty!
In other words, at that time, there were already people who could communicate with the bonsai world, which brought the story of "Journey to the West" to the bonsai world.
But what happened to that man?
Xu Boan doesn't know.
However, in this way, the communication between the bonsai world and the real world has been some years.
I wonder if some of the customs and culture in the bonsai world have also been passed down bit by bit.
Seriously, this bonsai is like a family heirloom, a pot has been passed down for hundreds of generations, and people are still there.
It's just that I don't know why, but this thing has inexplicably arrived in my hands now.
Xu Boan suddenly remembered that when these villagers in Gushan Village had just moved here, he had heard Li Laosan say that he had heard Mr. Storyteller tell the story of Huaguo Mountain in the city, and now that he thought about it, he had neglected this problem at that time.
Xu Bo'an thought for a while, and then asked: "How long has the story of "Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West" appeared? Is it a story created by the people of your Daijing Dynasty? ”
Chen Shishi shook her head and said: "Let the mountain god grandpa see it, the little woman doesn't know these things, but I heard that "Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West" is a very old story, and it is unknown where this story came out, in short, almost all storytellers and traveling merchants know this story. ”
Xu Bo'an couldn't ask for any valuable news, so he gave up.
A large area of woodland in the bonsai was reclaimed, and Xu Bo'an put away the trowel and gave up.
Because it was a weekend, there were no people in the company except for the people on duty, and there was no important work.
Seeing that most of the day had passed, Xu Boan came out of the company and headed towards the Second Hospital of Dongjiang City.
Originally, after Xu Boan heard Chen Pingping talk about Tang Xiaorou's experience several times, Xu Boan wanted to go and see him.
Not to mention anything else, Tang Xiaotong is his secretary after all, and his subordinates' family members are sick and hospitalized, so it is also appropriate for him, a leader, to visit and condolence in the past.
Soon, Xu Boan drove to the Second Dongjiang Hospital.
After parking the car, Xu Boan did not go in immediately, but first went to a row of shops opposite the hospital, bought some flowers and fruit baskets, and then carried them into the hospital.
While walking, Xu Boan took out the phone and dialed Tang Xiaotong, and the phone was quickly connected.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, hello. I'm sorry to delay my work during this time. Receiving Xu Boan's call, Tang Xiaotong said with a little weakness.
Xu Boan comforted Tang Xiaotong disapprovingly: "Well, it's nothing, I called to ask which ward your family is in, and I happened to be passing by here, so I'll go in to visit your family." ”
Although Dongjiang No. 2 has a tradition of condolences to employees, it is obviously inappropriate for Xu Boan to come here alone.
Xu Bo'an thought about the Tang sisters and thought about the ugliness of the family, so he came alone.
However, in order to avoid Tang Xiaotong's distraction, Xu Boan simply said that he came by the way, lest Tang Xiaotong still think that Xu Boan had nothing to do, so what!
Although Xu Boan also knows Tang Xiaotong's sister Tang Xiaorou, after all, he came here to see Tang Xiaotong's family, so it is only appropriate to choose to communicate with Tang Xiaotong.
Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Tang Xiaotong was very excited: "Mr. Xu, this ...... How embarrassing is that? I took a few days off, and you didn't criticize me, so I'm very kind, so I'm embarrassed to take you to come back again. ”
Xu Boan said softly: "It's okay, anyway, it's by the way, I've already come over, and now I'm in the hospital building, you can tell me the room number of the ward directly." ”
Hearing Xu Bo'an's remarks, Tang Xiaotong couldn't continue to be polite, and immediately told Xu Bo'an the ward number.
After determining the location of the ward, Xu Boan searched all the way.
As soon as he walked outside the door of the ward, he saw Tang Xiaotong already waiting outside.
Seeing Xu Bo'an coming over, Tang Xiaotong hurriedly greeted him, looked at Xu Bo'an with burning eyes, and said with a full of emotion: "Mr. Xu, thank you so much, I don't know what to say." ”
Xu Boan smiled and handed over the things in his hand, and said softly: "Okay, don't have psychological pressure, who can have something to do." ”
Tang Xiaotong took the fruit and flower basket handed over by Xu Bo'an, and led Xu Bo'an into the ward behind him.
This room is not a single room, but a triple room with three beds.
It's just that the two sisters are lucky, and the room at this time happens to be only inhabited by Tang Xiaorou.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Boan noticed Tang Xiaorou lying on the hospital bed by the window.
Tang Xiaorou on the blue striped hospital bed was half-lying, and she seemed to be thinner than before, making her look more petite and delicate.
Her long, soft hair was scattered on the sheets, her face was a little pale, and her lips lacked blood, but she still maintained that elegant and demure temperament, and her eyes were still clear and bright.
Seeing Xu Bo'an walk in, Tang Xiaorou on the hospital bed looked in his eyes, and his clear eyes suddenly widened.
Tang Xiaorou looked at Xu Bo'an in surprise, and before she could speak, she heard her sister Tang Xiaotong introduce: "Sister, this is our leader I just told you, Mr. Xu." ”
After introducing the leaders of his company to his sister, Tang Xiaotong looked at Xu Boan politely and continued to introduce: "Mr. Xu, this is my sister, her name is Tang Xiaorou, and she is currently engaged in the real estate sales industry. ”
Tang Xiaotong had just finished the introduction, and he heard Tang Xiaorou say in surprise: "This ...... It's really you, Boss Xu. ”
Xu Boan nodded with a smile, although he already knew the sisterhood between the two, but after all, the way he knew it was a bit shy, and the original series of photo photos still couldn't be said on the surface.
It damages his own leadership image, and it's embarrassing to say it.
Xu Boan nodded solemnly and said, "It's me, I really didn't expect it, the world is so small." ”
"Yes, that means I'm too close to you." Seeing Xu Boan's Tang Xiaorou, she was obviously in a good mood.
Tang Xiaotong's eyes widened in surprise, his eyes were incredible, he looked at the two of them left and right, and exclaimed, "You two know each other!" ”
Xu Boan nodded, and said lightly: "Yes, I know!" It's a coincidence. ”
Tang Xiaorou explained directly to her sister: "Boss Xu is my customer, and I bought a villa in my hands before, but I didn't expect Boss Xu to be your boss." ”
Tang Xiaotong blinked suddenly, thinking of what his sister told him a few days ago, when he was selling a house, he met a high-quality male customer with temperament, so it seems that this person is Xu Boan.
After all, selling villas is not selling ordinary houses, let alone a month, it is not easy to sell one or two sets a year, it can be regarded as not opening for half a year, and it is a livelihood for half a year without opening.
Recently, my sister only sold one villa, so the customer is naturally Xu Boan.
Thinking that he had planned to introduce his young and wealthy boss to his sister, Tang Xiaotong felt that this matter was simply ingenious.
Tang Xiaotong continued with a smile: "This thing is indeed too coincidental, Mr. Xu, please sit down, and I will help you peel an apple." ”
Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said, "You don't need to greet me, you don't need to see outside, it's better to serve a good patient than anything else." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a strange voice from outside the door.
"Yo, I said that my wings have been stiff recently, and it turned out to be a little white face, we haven't divorced yet, and you even have chosen a spare tire. It's still waiting! ”
Xu Bo'an looked sideways and saw a man wearing a leather jacket and a gold chain walking in from outside.
The leather jacket on the man's body seems to be a little ill-fitting, and the tight-fitting style highlights his shriveled figure, and the thick dark circles and chapped lips can make people know at a glance that this guy is living a bad life.
Seeing someone coming, Tang Xiaorou on the hospital bed was very excited.
"What are you doing here? Get me out of here, or I'll call the police." Tang Xiaorou angrily scolded the person who came, raised her hand and pointed out the door.
The man dressed like a gangster continued to walk in disapprovingly, glanced at Xu Boan with a playful face, and then looked at Tang Xiaorou and said, "What? Nervous about being hit by me? ”
Tang Xiaorou shouted a little angrily: "You don't talk nonsense there." Get the hell out of here. Otherwise, I'd call the police. ”
The man didn't think so, and said indifferently: "Call the police? You report it! I came to see my sick and hospitalized lover, why should I go out? Even if you want to go out, it should be this little white face going out. ”
The man pointed at Xu Bo'an, and his eyes glanced at him coldly.
Xu Boan listened to it, and he didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
Angry, right? But people call themselves little white faces.
This is not only a compliment to his youthful appearance, but also a compliment to his appearance. Xu Boan hadn't heard such praise for a long time.
Seeing that the man was approaching Xu Bo'an again, Tang Xiaotong took the lead and stopped in front of the man.
"What are you going to do? Get out! My sister has made it very clear. Tang Xiaotong looked at the visitor with a gloomy face,
The man's eyes rolled slightly, looked Tang Xiaotong up and down, and said, "Yo, isn't this my beautiful sister-in-law!" You are really rude, you don't know how to shout when you see your brother-in-law. It is said that the sister-in-law is the intimate little padded jacket of the brother-in-law, and it is not right for you to do this. ”
Tang Xiaotong gritted his teeth and said: "The surname Liu, I have already consulted a doctor, according to my sister's current injury, if you are to be held responsible, you will inevitably be imprisoned." You'd better get to know each other, don't push us! ”
The man still looked disapproving, and said in a mocking tone: "Yo, hold me accountable?" Why are you holding me accountable? My wife is injured, I feel more sad than anyone else, you little girl don't call me brother-in-law, why is it still indiscriminate. ”
Tang Xiaorou shouted angrily: "You don't cry here and fake mercy, how did my sister get hurt?" You know it in your heart. ”
The man spread his hands and said scoundrelly: "I don't know, there is no monitoring in that place, this matter is really unclear." ”
It turns out that this is the reason why he has no fear.
Tang Xiaorou took a deep breath, tried her best to keep her language very steady, and interjected: "Get out, I don't want to listen to you messing around." ”
The man nodded, raised his hand and rubbed his fingers, and said, "Okay, right?" It's okay to let me roll. But you'll have to give me some of the cost of my youth loss over the years. ”
"What do you say? Do you still have to pay for the loss of youth? Don't you feel shameless. ”
Tang Xiaotong stared at this man tightly, unable to believe that a person could be so shameless.
The man still looked indifferent, and said, "Alas, anyway, I have said everything I should have said, if you don't want to talk about it, let's slowly consume the divorce." Let's see which of us can outperform whom. ”
"You're not only shameless, you're despicable." Tang Xiaotong even regretted a little, he should have learned some scolding skills earlier, and the language would not be so scarce at this moment.
The man dug out his messy hair, and said indifferently: "Whatever you say, I still say the same thing, if you want to cut through the mess of divorce quickly, you have to compensate me for the loss of youth, that's all, you think about it." ”
Xu Boan watched this farce coldly beside him, looked at the man coldly, and suddenly said: "Hey, you guy, if your illness is still cured, will you still break the jar like this?" (End of chapter)
