Chapter 276: Cui Yu
The yellowish autumn leaves swirled, drifting to the streets of Gaoling County, and then being pressed to the ground by the footsteps and wheels of the past, the autumn sun was shining, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey to this side, looked at a food shop not far away, patted the donkey's head, and let it wait in place.
At the door of the shop with flags, the shopkeeper was holding a dustpan and sifting the crumbs of preserved fruits, and when he saw a scholar in green clothes coming in, he greeted him with a smile.
"Guest, what to buy? Come in and see, come in and see!"
He brought a dustpan and welcomed people in, and shouted "Shopkeeper!" to put things down.
In the middle of the store, there is a large lacquered round table, on which several plates of preserved fruits and snacks are delicately arranged in style, which is quite eye-catching, and the teak shelves on both sides are styled with various kinds of snacks and pastries, and simple names are hung.
The guy waiting on the side pointed to a snack that Lu Liangsheng had just seen, and turned over the paper hanging on the side.
"Tube, this is jujube pastry, puff pastry noodles for skin, black jujube paste filling, that is the chef of the back kitchen is full of strength, this is very chewy after frying, there is a piece of tasting here, I don't believe you try it." ”
The guy was quite enthusiastic, and Lu Liangsheng was not easy to refuse, so he took it and tasted it, chewing it gently, there was the meat taste of lard, and the sweetness of dates, and the chewiness was indeed as he said, tenacious.
"Wrap a plate for me and take it away. ”
"Gotcha!" the guy hurriedly wrote it down, and didn't leave, and led Lu Liangsheng to look at other desserts and preserved fruits, "I heard that Gongzi's accent is a southerner, right? ”
"Okay, one for each of the two. ”
"Okay, one for each of the bean bread and the cake. ”
The guy shouted out of the door, and went to the back hall, and the shopkeeper came out to settle the account with Lu Liangsheng, and when he weighed the broken silver, Lu Liangsheng asked some things casually.
"Is there a family surnamed Cui in your county?"
The shopkeeper weighed the broken silver, found the remaining money and put it in the bag, handed it to the scholar, and touched the tip of his beard with a smile on his big round face.
"Childe, there are a lot of people with the surname Cui in this county, how can I answer. ”
Lu Liangsheng nodded, this is also true, there are dozens of people with the same surname in a city, and there are hundreds of people, not to mention that it is not that rare surname, and he was about to take a few packs of dim sum from the hands of the guy who came out of the inner hall, and suddenly thought of what Zhou Yu said that day.
Then he asked the shopkeeper, "Is there an old man surnamed Cui in the city?"
The surname Cui is also an old man, and the scope is naturally much narrower, and when the shopkeeper put down the account book and frowned and thought, the guy with a snack on the side came up and whispered.
"The shopkeeper is a family that often comes to our store to buy snacks. ”
At the mention of this, the round-faced shopkeeper suddenly remembered and nodded at Lu Liangsheng.
"Childe, there is indeed one, that family moved from Gucheng County, the family is well-off, and often comes to me to patronize it, speaking of which, Cui Gong only got a son in fifty, which is a rare thing. ”
"Can the shopkeeper tell me where the Cui family is located in the city?"
"No, no, no, I'm a businessman, I can't say that the old customer is real, the son wants to ask, or go elsewhere. ”
"Hehe, that's a bother. ”
Lu Liangsheng was not angry, this businessman kept the customer's address secret, but it was a good thing, took the dim sum, arched his hand and left.
Gaoling County is close to Chang'an, the population is prosperous, the streets and alleys are intertwined to be much larger than Fushui County, the high and low buildings with flags and flags of the wine shop teahouse are noisy, leading the old donkey through a lively long street, just to see the Taoist coming out of a green building, smiling and waving to an old bustard, seeing Lu Liangsheng standing across the street, hurriedly trotted over.
"Found it, give you the address. ”
"Qinglou?"
"Hey, this kind of fireworks land, just make money and don't know what the news is. ”
The Taoist 'cut' and wrote the address of Cui's family on a note, and the latter took it and looked at it, and said, "Let's go together?"
Sun Yingxian shrugged his shoulders, put his hands on the back of his head, turned around and walked into the bustling street, and waved his hand in his head.
"No, what is there to see about the old pedant, even if he is reincarnated as a child, it is even more boring, wander around. ”
"Don't go to the Green House. ”
Tell the Taoist a word, Lu Liangsheng to the other direction, walking through the bustling long street, the hustle and bustle is getting smaller, according to the address of the Taoist inquiry, the direction of the past, is a row of independent courtyards, the teacher reincarnated in the Cui family, the current life of his father Cui Rang is a kind and charitable person, but unfortunately I have seen half a hundred and no heirs, and then prayed to Mount Tai, the old wife became pregnant, although there are exaggerated elements, but those are not important, as long as the teacher is indeed in this family.
Walking through the green brick paved street, a few old pine branches and leaves poke out in the long courtyard wall, and the autumn sunlight passes through the gaps in the trees, mottled and shines on the blue brick stone steps in front of the courtyard gate, which looks quiet and simple.
This is it. ’
Lu Liangsheng looked up at the courtyard door, the word 'Cui Zhai' was written, he didn't knock on the door, let go of the reins, and walked straight through the closed courtyard gate with a blurred figure.
The old man of the porter sat on the bench behind the door, shook his head and hummed the opera, a gust of wind blew, and he struck a spirit, and he felt that his eyes were flowering, as if something had passed, and he looked around, and there was nothing unusual.
"It's weird, I obviously feel like there's something......"
Frowning and muttering, he walked back to the gatehouse, along the courtyard road leading to the front yard outside, Lu Liangsheng was also looking at this house, potted old trees, a feng shui screen, through the front yard, the pavilion and small buildings were also complete, and the whole house looked extremely exquisite.
"Childe ......"
Hearing the voice of the maid, Lu Liangsheng stopped, not far away from a crescent door, two maids took the paper kite and trotted lightly, followed by a four or five-year-old child, with a small bun and a beautiful face, chasing the paper kite that was floating in the air and not flying high, smiling beautifully.
The little man chasing after him suddenly stopped, as if sensing that someone was looking at him, and turned his head to look at the crescent moon door.
A scholar in a green coat and a white robe stood there, his eyes softened, and the corners of his mouth slowly smiled a little, walked into the door, and sat down on the stone steps under the eaves.
"Who are you?" the child blinked suspiciously, and the servants and friends in the courtyard, all of whom he knew, had never seen this strange scholar, "but the gentleman my father had invited?"
Under the eaves, Lu Liangsheng shook his head with a smile, and just sat on the stone steps and looked at the child, just like in the small courtyard in Fushui County, the teacher stood under the camphor tree, holding a book and looking at it.
"What's your name?" The wind rustled through the branches in the courtyard, and Lu Liangsheng suddenly asked.
"Why tell you. ”
The child was like a little adult, with his arms crossed over his chest and his chin raised: "If you say it first, I will say it." ”
"Me?"
Lu Liangsheng smiled, and then replied: "My name is Lu Liangsheng, I came from the south, and I passed by here to visit an old man." ”
"My name is Cui Yu!"
The child was not afraid of him, on the contrary, there was an inexplicable sense of closeness, and he walked to the opposite side generously, "Then have you seen the old man?"
"I saw it, and I had a good time. ”
In the distance, the two maids with paper kites saw that Gongzi did not follow, and when they turned around, they saw him standing under the eaves, as if talking to someone, and the second girl's face suddenly turned pale, and in her sight, there was no figure under the eaves at all.
"Little boy, this ...... Who are you talking to......"
"It won't be ....."
The two maids turned their necks with difficulty, looked at each other tremblingly, and cautiously approached a few steps with bitter faces.
"Childe ....."
Hearing the maid's call, Cui Yu turned his little face to the two of them and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You..... Who are you talking to?"
"A big brother. Cui Yu didn't know the age of Lu Liangsheng in front of him, and raised his little finger to go to the opposite eaves, "Isn't it?"
But where he pointed to, the two maids couldn't see any figures at all, and the ground was empty, and he was even more sure that the prince had seen something unclean, and one of them hurriedly ran towards the crescent moon gate, probably to call the lord and the lady.
"Hey, sister, where are you going?"
Cui Yu screamed at the maid who ran away, and when he turned around and was about to tell the scholar, he found that there was no one under the eaves, only two good-looking snacks were placed there.
"Do you see where that scholar went?"
Behind her, another maid shook her head tremblingly, she only saw Gongzi talking there alone from beginning to end, and soon, Cui Rang and Liu, who heard the news, came to run, picked up the child and looked around, and saw that her son was fine, so she was relieved and scolded the two maids, this matter should not be spread to the outside world.
......
Outside the street, the sun was shining, and through the bustling long street, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey out of the city gate, waiting for the Taoist outside, bathing in the sunset, slightly distracted.
In the bookshelf compartment, the toad Taoist looked at the distracted apprentice standing there and snorted.
I don't say I care much about the old man. ’
Throwing aside a booklet in his hand, Toad's eyes turned twice, and suddenly covered Bai Huahua's belly, "ouch" and lay down on his side, Lu Liangsheng, who heard the movement outside, came back to his senses, squatted down and looked into the small door, and the master covered his stomach and rolled on the futon.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay to be a teacher, but my stomach suddenly hurts. The toad Daoist opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the apprentice outside the door, and continued to turn in one direction.
Seeing his expression and appearance, Lu Liangsheng showed a hint of a smile, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on his white belly.
"Master, how about this?"
The toad snorted comfortably, and the apprentice visited the reincarnation of the old scholar before, and the anger of throwing himself outside also disappeared a lot, smashed his mouth, and waved his frog flippers.
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
One sat up and took the discarded scroll again, "Go out, I have to finish this "Ancient Scroll Food" for the teacher, hmm..... Let me think about it, what else have you eaten......"
In the words, Lu Liangsheng smiled and shook his head, Master is becoming more and more like an old child now, his thoughts just now were disrupted, so he didn't continue to think about it, and after a while, the Taoist bought dry food and came back.
hurriedly put the dry food on the bookshelf, urging Lu Liangsheng to hurry.
"Hurry up, let's go, these are enough for us to eat back to Qixia Mountain." ”
"In such a hurry to go back?"
"Because there are still people waiting for ....." Sun Yingxian stopped speaking, and made contact with Lu Liangsheng's gaze, and the words quickly turned around, and his face skimmed to the side.
"This is a matter of Bendao, so I won't reveal it for the time being!"
Lu Liangsheng knew what he was thinking, and was about to open his mouth to admonish, when suddenly his body stiffened, and a warmth instantly swept through his body, and he saw pedestrians talking and talking, and Taoists opening and closing their lips but no sound came out.
The whole world seemed to fall silent.
However, in his ears, a voice came from the direction of Chang'an, majestic and upright.
"Sealed, Qixia Mountain Lu Liangsheng, the demon spirit shows the real person!"
The robe swelled without wind, and a touch of wind suddenly lifted on his side, and Sun Yingxian, who was originally waving at him, seemed to have been hit by something, covering his head and stumbling back.
Even the toad in the bookshelf slammed open the small door of the cubicle, and was invisibly pressed back, stumbling and sticking to the gourd behind it.
Outside the door, around the apprentice's body with his hair and robes moving, there was a thin layer of golden qi around.
The toad Daoist stared at the toad's eyes wide, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
"The ...... of the other Who the gave Liangsheng a seal!!"
