The market outside the city gates is noisy and orderly.

All the way from the south to the south, at this time, it is finally time to separate, the child is a little reluctant, pulling Lu Liangsheng's sleeves and shaking gently.

"Mr. Lu, can I see you again in the future?"

Passers-by looked curiously, but those who didn't hear the previous sentence thought that father and son were separated.

"Yes, fate, we will meet again. ”

Putting aside the mystery of his identity, Lu Liangsheng also liked this child quite a lot, and suddenly reached out to untie the Pisces Hanzhu pendant on his waist, put it in Chen Jing's hand, and reached out to stroke the child's head.

"It's a gift for you, take it well. ”

Chen Jing held the jade pendant, and the warm breath conveyed the palm of his hand from above, as if only he could see the luster, flashed in the jade, raised his little face in surprise, and saw Lu Liangsheng put his finger between his lips and 'shhh

"Don't tell anyone else, if you encounter danger in the future, press the jade bead. ”

The child nodded his head: "Hmm!"

quickly took the jade pendant into his arms and slapped it twice like a baby.

This jade pendant was made by Lu Liangsheng to find a jade craftsman, and he applied mana to it, and he carried it with him every day to paint and read a lot of aura.

Giving it to this child is considered a fate between the two of them, and it can also help him resist some calamities.

At this time, Cao Shouren took the coachman and He Jingqiu to say goodbye and arched his hand.

"Mr. Lu is righteous, otherwise we have been harmed, and the grace of saving lives is greater than heaven, please accept Cao's worship. ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply and bowed down.

The coachman and He Jingqiu also saluted later, and the latter had a lot of smiles on his face at the moment, probably because of the relationship between the arrival in Beijing, and there were many more words, and he took the child and smiled.

"Mr. Lu, you might as well tell us the inn where you are staying, our mother and son dare not forget the life-saving grace, and after settling down, we can find Mr. to repay the kindness. ”

Her attitude was sincere and earnest, not like that kind of hypocrisy, which made Lu Liangsheng a little difficult to refuse, but he still shook his head with a smile.

"Although it is a life-saving grace, but for me it is just a gesture, you don't have to worry about it, the sky is high and the road can be met in the wilderness, it is also a fate, not to mention, I am also new to Tianzhi, and there is no fixed number of where to live, so let's do it, you hurry into the city." ”

"Wait!!"

Sun Yingxian's voice suddenly came from the side of the road not far away, he held a few silk horses in his hand, and stuffed them into the hands of the woman over there with a smile, Cao Shouren on the side looked at it, and stopped talking.

However, the woman still accepted it calmly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile and bowed to the Taoist.

"Thank you for the long silk of the aisle, just enough to make new clothes for Jing'er. ”

He Jingqiu was slightly blessed, and his demeanor contained not the nobility that ordinary women should have, and he was graceful and generous, and then Cao Shouren next to him came over and whispered a few words, and led Chen Jing to the city gate, where there were seven or eight men to answer the mother and son, and after a few words, he looked at Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist priest with alert eyes, and then nodded, as if greeting.

Lu Liangsheng arched his hand and smiled in return.

Over there, Chen Jing, who got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and poked out his little face, looking at the figure of the scholar who was gradually getting farther away, his eyes were wet and red, and he shouted outside the city gate:

"Mr. Lu—"

"Mr. Lu, can we still meet in the future?!"

The immature voice went away to the streets of the city and disappeared behind the intertwined pedestrians, Lu Liangsheng was also full of emotion in his heart, took the old donkey and then snapped his fingers.

"Let's go, go into town. ”

Sun Yingxian put his hands on the back of his head and walked leisurely beside him, his eyes looking at the direction where the carriage had disappeared.

"Do you think I have a chance? But that kid seems to like you very much....."

"If it's because of the child, the girl likes you too...... Hey, Lao Lu, don't fight with this Dao, you can't beat me!"

Lu Liangsheng flicked the mask hanging on the roadside stall, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, but you, there is definitely no hope." ”

"Hey..... what do you mean?" Sun Yingxian stopped.

"Didn't you hear what He Jingqiu just said?"

Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey, patted the passer's shoulder with the other hand, and continued to walk forward.

"She said, 'Just in time to make Jing'er a new dress', this is for you to go down the ladder, euphemistically refused, and second, she also tells you that she is a woman with a husband, and the children are so old. ”

The Taoist slapped his thigh: "But Bendao doesn't dislike it?!"

"People dislike it! forget it......" Lu Liangsheng didn't bother to explain to him, how could he be so smart on weekdays, but when he came to a woman, he was like a pervert reincarnated.

The two still talked as they walked, and the more they walked inside, they found that the streets were gradually deserted, and the fallen leaves everywhere were unattended, and the occasional passer-by was also in a hurry.

found an inn to stay, led the old donkey to the backyard foster care, and after opening two rooms, the two of them fell on the bed as if they were paralyzed.

The toad Taoist smelled the fragrance on the futon, stretched out his limbs, and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

"I can finally come out, I almost suffocated the old man in the past half a month. ”

Lu Liangsheng sat up, hurriedly hung the painting scroll on the wall, and painted two pine branches and leaves gently swaying, swaying on the swing, Nie Honglian looked at it with a smile in the painting.

"Or is the concubine comfortable, childe, childe, what fun is there to add to the painting?"

"How can I have time, I'll go out to eat later, and I'll think about it for you when I come back." ”

As soon as Lu Liangsheng said to eat, the person on the bed and the toad sat up violently, then jumped out of bed and straightened his collar.

"Half Moon Wind Meal Sleeping, I must have a good meal today. ”

Here, Lu Liangsheng took out the silver two and looked at it, which was almost enough for them to live in the capital for a few months, and after informing Honglian, he took the Taoist and carried the master downstairs and came to the hall.

There are not many people eating on the first floor, which is slightly better than the bleak scene outside, but it is only a few tables of people eating and drinking.

"Two guest officers, please, sit down, sit down. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted the two people downstairs, and quickly wiped the table with the rag on his shoulder.

"What kind of dishes are you going to serve? There are basically all the dishes flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water in our shop, as long as the guest officer wants to. ”

At the other tables, the aroma of the food made the Taoist swallow his saliva and slapped the table: "Okay, let's give this Dao a dragon first." ”

"Okay..... good...... Huh?"

The guy just woke up and shouted loudly, and after listening to the words of the Taoist, he forcibly held back his voice, turned back and pinched the rag and twisted it around in his hand.

"Objective, aren't you entertaining me, if we had this thing in our store, let alone sell it, I guess my head would have moved a long time ago. ”

Lu Liangsheng was amused by the Taoist's words and interrupted.

"This man is crazy, you don't pay attention to him, just go to your store, the dishes that customers often order, and have a little rice. ”

As if he had been pardoned, the man fled to the back kitchen with a rag to report the name of the dish.

The two of them, plus the toad on the bench, really haven't eaten well and slept well during this time, smelling the aroma of the food at the adjacent table, they couldn't help but have the idea of urging the guy for the first time.

At the same time, the restaurant tea shop is usually a place where the most information gathers, Lu Liangsheng played with chopsticks, trying to listen to what the diners at the surrounding tables were talking about, but for a long time, no one spoke.

After a while, the guy who reported the name of the dish came out, and Lu Liangsheng called him in front of him and lowered his voice.

"Let me ask you something, when I first came to the capital, why did the more I walked in, the more depressed I became, the people around me were in a hurry, and there was not much talk in your store?"

The guy's face changed, he quickly closed his mouth, and walked away without looking back, and after a long time, he came out, and there were several plates of vegetables stacked on the tray.

"Two guest officers, here are your vinegar sauce pork ribs, moxibustion lamb shank, hot and sour cabbage soup, big white steamed buns, and rice. ”

After reporting the food, he looked around and suddenly approached Lu Liangsheng.

"This son, when you get here, don't talk about these things casually, be careful of being put in prison. ”

Leaving this sentence, he returned to the door with a rag, looking at the passers-by outside, but he didn't have the heart to loudly invite customers to come in for dinner.

Lu Liangsheng frowned and thought, could it be related to those monsters in the imperial court?

I couldn't figure out the joints for the time being, but when I turned around, I saw the Taoist holding the bowl and constantly dropping the chopsticks, sweeping the table with the wind and clouds, the chopsticks hitting the rice bowl, the cheeks were stuffed with bulging sacs, chewing big mouthfuls, and a mouth full of oil and water.

The frog webbed that the toad Taoist was anxious to poke Lu Liangsheng.

"What are you doing in a daze, the dishes are almost eaten by him, hurry up and clip a piece of meat for the teacher, remember to be fatty...... Forget it, come for the teacher himself. ”

The toad jumped off the stool, fell on the table, and while no one was paying attention, he quickly flicked his long tongue and rolled a piece of fatty meat into his mouth.

puffing out his cheeks, he turned his head, looked at the apprentice in front of him, and muttered:

"Hmm...hmm...... You just want to have a fart......"

He raised the spoon again, scooped a spoonful of hot and sour soup and poured it down.

Arrange!

Arrange!

Arrange!

The soup flowed down the corner of the toad's mouth to the table, and then he continued to lie down and said, "...... Didn't the old pedant tell you to look for him, and you can go over and ask him later?"

"I almost forgot about it...... Thank you, Master, for reminding me. ”

Lu Liangsheng covered his forehead and laughed, picked up chopsticks to join the ranks of grabbing vegetables, and at the door five or six steps away, the guy slapped himself hard, and looked at the table dumbfounded.

"Mother...... The toads spoke. ”
