Chapter Twenty-Eight: On the Water Side
Ji Daqiang looked puzzled and followed the person who called him young master on the way down the mountain.
This self-proclaimed Wei Bo went up the mountain to find the master of the sect, and the master sent someone to find him and let him go down the mountain.
After thirteen years on the mountain, Ji Daqiang regarded this place as his home, and now the master suddenly asked him to go down the mountain, and he was very reluctant in his heart.
If it weren't for Wei Bo saying that he would go to Mr. Lu first, Ji Daqiang would have doubted whether the master had sold him.
Ji Daqiang is very good-looking, at least he thinks so.
During his years in the mountains, his favorite thing to do was to go to the well after practicing.
The ancient well is deep and quiet, and the well is quiet, like a mirror.
When he went to play by the well for the first time, he looked at the well and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a little friend as big as him in the water of the well.
He had just gone up the mountain.
When he went up the mountain, he was accepted as a disciple by the head Cui Xinghe, and he was the first person.
Except for Song Lanyu, Cui Xinghe only accepted him as a disciple.
The elder brother treated him very well, caught pheasants and hares and roasted them for him to eat, took him to wander in the Gushu Mountain, played hide and seek with him in summer, accompanied him to catch butterflies and grasshoppers, and took him to pick rabbits and chase pheasants when it was cold.
He liked the elder brother the most, but he was still very lonely.
He doesn't have a buddy.
The well was his secret, even though he grew up and knew that the person reflected in the well was himself.
The person in the well was so good-looking, it turned out to be himself, and Ji Daqiang was even more happy in his heart.
He used almost all the words he learned from books to describe people as good-looking.
The ancients were really uneducated, speaking of which, they were as rich as jade, the jade tree was in the wind, the air was magnificent, and the appearance was extraordinary, Ji Daqiang felt that he was indeed a little difficult for the ancients.
How can words describe such a beautiful look?
Even the disciples of the master didn't dare to look at themselves, Ji Daqiang knew that it was called being ashamed of himself.
But he is not proud at all, he is very polite to everyone in his school, and he smiles when he sees everyone.
Ji Daqiang's life motto, others see me, like a spring breeze.
It's just that my name doesn't sound very good.
He asked Mr. Lu why his name was so ordinary.
Mr. Lu told him that this name was just a person's name, and there was no need to care, and the name of the big wall had a deep meaning.
As for the deep meaning, the gentleman smiled and said nothing.
The "Spring Breeze" who turned back while walking was a little unhappy, he didn't see the senior brother.
The master told him that the senior brother had gone down the mountain to run errands, and as long as he missed the senior brother, the two of them would have a chance to meet again.
Ji Daqiang has always wondered in his heart, why did the general of Yizhou take him down the mountain, is it because he is good-looking?
In the thirteen years on the mountain, he has long forgotten his childhood, and there is nothing to miss during that time.
She didn't know who her mother was, and she forgot her father, he seemed to be just a person.
Wei Bo didn't say anything, called out to the young master with a straight face, and let himself go with him.
Ji Daqiang, who wanted to be a spring breeze, still barely squeezed out a smile.
It was very boring along the way, Ji Daqiang asked a lot of questions, and the man could only say one sentence,
"The young master will know when the time comes. ”
I walked through Ji Daqiang and figured it out, that person called himself young master, didn't that mean that his father and mother, whom he had never met, came to pick him up?
This man wants to take himself to take care of the house, isn't that his husband's cottage?
Ji Daqiang suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, he once asked his husband, who are his parents, why did his husband teach him to read here?
The gentleman told him that he would know when the time came,
Is it today?
Ji Daqiang's thoughts turned and turned in his heart, and he became more and more sure of his conjecture.
When the two came to Zhaoshenlu, Webber did not go in, but said,
"Young Master, please!"
After Ji Daqiang walked through the chaimen, he saw an elder who looked not much younger than the master sitting on a small bamboo chair with his back to him, talking with his husband.
Lu Shiyin saw Ji Daqiang walking in, and hurriedly greeted,
"It's the big wall coming, come here!"
The elder also looked back at him.
Looking at the man's face, Ji Daqiang only felt a little close, his heart moved slightly, his eyes seemed to be a little hot, and after a few steps forward, Ji Daqiang knelt in front of the man and shouted,
"Big wall, I finally see Daddy!"
——————————————
After using the morning food, Lu Guanju changed into men's clothes and pushed the door open.
Yesterday, Dong Xianglin sent a message, saying that it was done properly.
Dong Xianglin personally found someone to send the letter to the martial arts hall this time, mainly because the female devil could say that if she messed up, she would let her father go to Dong's mansion to propose marriage the next day.
Dong Xianglin was frightened, and said to Zhu Qing, who sent the letter, please tell your young lady, and you will definitely be satisfied with Miss Lu.
In order to avoid going wrong, it was nothing for him Dong Dashao to go on a trip in person, and he just went out to meet a few friends.
As long as she Lu Guanju doesn't come to the door to propose, what is this little thing? From childhood to adulthood, he has done less for this female devil?
After delivering the letter, he was going to go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to talk to the other two backstabbers about the female devil quietly sending the letter to people.
It's only been a few days, and I asked myself to help deliver two letters, and it seems that the rumors in the market are not groundless. I want to share the good news with those two good brothers.
Xu Yibai told him that he heard that the Songzhu Pavilion in the city recently had a new top brand, called Liu Weiwei.
And Liu Yuanqing was even more arrogant, saying that it was his own family, maybe it was a family five hundred years ago, we have already tied our hair, we can go to drink flower wine, and go to my family to get a money.
The three of them are not ordinary children, and after a few inquiries, they knew that Liu Weiwei was from Yangzhou, and she was taught by Liu Xiaoxiao, a famous singer of the Great Jin Dynasty.
This Liu Xiaoxiao is a native of Yangzhou, originally a poor poor girl, her family died when she was young, and like many lonely children, she planted barnyard grass on the street, just to be able to eat a bite of food.
Later, someone took her away, and eight years later, a famous singer named Liu Xiaoxiao appeared in Yangzhou City.
It's strange to say that he didn't personally veto the doll kiss set on the wine table in the early years in the Lu Mansion, and he Dong Xianglin didn't know why, he really didn't have the courage to go to the Songzhu Pavilion to drink a sip of flower wine.
Xu Yibai and Liu Yuanqing are very brotherly and righteous, they said it nicely, they went to explore the way first, but when they came back to chat with him Dong Xianglin, the words were full of you are still a child, and you don't understand what we said.
said that Dong Xianglin's heart was itching, and his teeth hurt with hatred.
I haven't been to Shochikukan, how can I gain a foothold in the circle?
Just like last time, Lu Guanju still came to Baisha Lake in the north of the city alone.
At this time, about three o'clock in the morning, most of the families in the city have just finished their morning meals, and the people who live near Baisha Lake come to the lake for a walk when they have leisure, but most of them are still busy with their livelihoods, how can they have such leisure to enjoy the lake and mountains.
The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and a clear blue sky is reflected in the water, and Lu Guanju boarded a lone boat by the lake again.
The old boat, which had opened, had just finished breakfast on the boat and was sitting on the bow of the boat.
Lao Zhouzi came to the lake at dawn, sprinkled two nets, caught some fish and shrimp, and took them away from his son and mother-in-law who came to deliver food at home to buy, and he stayed on the lake to support the boat and earn some extra silver taels.
Lao Zhouzi did this business, but his son couldn't do it, not because his son was lazy, but because the guests didn't like it.
Boating on the lake, most of them are pairs of people, an old man who is old and silent, which is more reassuring.
Lao Zhouzi didn't know the general's daughter, but he still recognized the woman in this man's clothes at a glance.
He has been holding the boat for many years, and it is rare for one person to take a boat to enjoy the scenery in the middle of the lake, and it is even more rare to just sit quietly in the boat and not go to enjoy the scenery.
Boarding the ship is a guest, giving money just to support the boat, this is the business of Lao Zhouzi, as for what guests have been on his ship today, what things have been done, he never told his family after returning home.
At home, it is mostly the mother-in-law who talks to him about the length of the neighborhood and trivial matters.
The son, like him, is not good at words, mostly in time for the New Year, after drinking two taels of turbid wine with his father, he can talk more.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is sensible, and she can talk a few more words with her mother-in-law, and the family will be more lively.
Lao Zhouzi, who had not yet been able to hold his grandson, got up to greet the guests.
The penny was submerged in the water, and the old boat held it hard, and the small lonely boat broke through the water and left the shore, and Lu Guanju sat quietly in the cabin.
After fishing every day, Lao Zhouzi carefully cleaned up his old buddies, and lit a stick of incense made by himself with mountain wormwood, which not only has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but also makes the taste of the fishing boat more fragrant.
When he arrived at the lake, after asking the guests, he parked the boat in the backlit place of the mountain, with a long penny across the bow of the boat, and the old boat spent time fishing.
Pick up the bamboo fishing rod placed on the boat, hang the bait, throw the rod into the water, and the old boat sits quietly on the bow of the boat.
The thin hemp fishing line connects the two worlds inside and outside the lake, as well as the world of people and fish.
Lu Guanju counted the time, and felt that it was almost over, so he walked out of the cabin, stood at the other end of the fishing boat, and looked at the lake.
The old boat, who had already had two harvests in the fish basket, looked at the guest, and Lu Guanju said to the face full of ravines, You continue, I will greet you if you have something.
It wasn't a day or two to go out, so Yuan Xi entrusted his teaching task to the three brothers Kong Lixiang, and Cheng Yunde also greeted the three. The three of them knew that Yuan Xi and Cheng had to go out for a long time, so they agreed to it. Yuan Xi proposed to Cheng Yunde that he would give the three of them what he had gained during the time he went out, and the three of them were surprised and did not push back according to the master's wishes.
According to Cheng Yunde's meaning, just because Yuan Xi provided a new set of boxing and marksmanship to the martial arts hall, it was worth the martial arts hall to give Yuan Xi an extra year of silver, but Yuan Xi refused.
Yuan Xi's reason is very simple, I don't think I have lost.
Maybe in Yuan Xi's eyes, this is a fair exchange in his heart, and in Cheng Yunde's heart, he has recorded Yuan Xi's favor.
Sometimes the relationship is that my family will send a congratulatory gift to your wife, and my family will add Ding, and you will congratulate you.
This gift becomes a different kind of ceremony, a kind of gift that can be measured in money.
But there is another kind of etiquette, which is friendship.
People often say that talking about money hurts feelings,
But some people say, brothers, settle accounts.
How can the word love and meaning be calculated, but whoever counts it is in vain, because these friendships have been completely calculated in the process of calculation.
When Yuan Xi was growing up, the mountain monk once told him.
Everything and everything, why do people have to measure one or two, but for the sake of gains and losses.
But is there really no need to care? Yes, it is needed, it is very needed, because without measuring, it is difficult to achieve a so-called fairness in the process of exchange and exchange.
And the fairness brought by this measurement is precisely the derivative of people's exchange activities in the long run, and it is where people's consensus lies.
Speaking of which, the mountain monk mentions an emperor, the First Emperor.
To say that this man ruled the world and ordered the unification of writing, currency, and weights and measures is a great merit for future generations.
The mountain monk did not say his evaluation of the emperor in front of Yuan Xi.
just said to Yuan Xi that most people evaluate a person's good and bad, and they are used to using their own interests as a reference.
When talking about irrelevant people, it often seems that they can understand the righteousness more deeply and say some just words. It's just that it falls on oneself, and maybe it's not so righteous and awe-inspiring.
The mountain monk asked Yuan Xi to remember that you can have your likes and dislikes, but your likes and dislikes are not the good and evil and good and bad of others.
People tend to be close to good and far from evil, mostly for their own benefit and avoid evil. Even if you don't get anything, you can have peace of mind.
But the cause and effect of everything is complicated, don't judge people for good and evil, and say that people are good and bad. Maybe one of your speculations can hurt people for a lifetime.
Great achievements do not hide small mistakes, and big things do not eliminate small mistakes.
In the same way, there is no reason to kill people with a stick, and there are not necessarily all faults.
Master's words, a lot, Yuan Xi took them to heart.
Tianming got up, played a few sets of boxing, moved his muscles and bones, and went to the martial arts arena to tell the three disciples not to slack off in practice, not to lose his face.
When the three disciples heard that the Yuan Chair was going out for a long time, they felt a little sad in their hearts, and they all patted their chests and said, Don't worry, the Yuan Chair.
After having breakfast in his room, Yuan Xi went to the backyard to take a look, and just happened to see Cheng Shifei feeding Fei.
What surprised him was that Xiao Fei dared to squat next to Funny Fei. Funny Fei is eating, and Cheng Fei is brushing the hair of Funny Fei next to it.
Seeing Yuan Xi coming, Cheng Shifei shouted "Brother Yuan", and then rubbed his head with his hand.
Yuan Xi saw that this was showing off to himself, and said,
"Xiao Fei, that's good, aren't you afraid to tease?"
Funny Fei also raised his head at this time, wagging his tail at Yuan Xi with joy.
Cheng Cheng said with a smile,
"It's my good friend, how can you be afraid of it? Brother Yuan, you're going out tomorrow, but you've packed your things?"
Yuan Xi snorted, and then said,
"It's just a change of clothes, easy to clean up, Xiao Fei, I'll go out for a walk, do you want to go together?"
Cheng thought for a moment, and then asked,
"Brother Yuan, where are you going? Do you want me to accompany you? If not, I'll go to my brother-in-law's house later to see if there's anything I need help with." ”
Yuan Xi shook his head, and then said,
"Xiao Fei, in addition to your palm technique, what weapons did Cheng Shibo teach you to use? If you have taught, you will bring it, let's go to Jingzhou, not to play in the mountains and rivers, it is better to be prepared. ”
Cheng Shifei, who had already gotten up, raised his eyebrows at Yuan Xiyi, blinked and said,
"At the beginning, my father said that he learned this set of rock opening palm techniques from his master to practice knives, so I learned knives. Daddy also told me that the knife I will bring with me tomorrow is what Daddy had with him in his early years. ”
Cheng Shifei, who looked proud, rubbed his belly and asked,
"Brother Yuan has a weapon?"
Yuan Xi looked at the comfortable teasing of being kneaded and said,
"I'll go out and have a look, if there's a suitable one, I'd like to buy a sword. ”
"Sword, Brother Yuan, I thought you were going to play with a gun, why don't I get one for you?"
Yuan Xi smiled,
"No, I'm out, you can play with you here. ”
Yuan Xi walked out of the martial arts hall and walked in the direction of the north of the city.
Lu Guanju looked at a black dot that appeared in the distance, and then slowly grew larger, and a figure appeared in her eyes, for some reason, her heartbeat was a little fast.
Before the third rod was harvested, the guests had to dock, and the old boat collected the fishing rod, and the long penny entered the water, and the boat flew like an arrow.
After landing on the shore, Lu Guanju jumped off the boat and walked towards Yuan Xi.
The sun shone on the face of Lao Zhouzi, who had received the money, and his smile was as bright as light.
This guest is really generous.
Approaching the lake, Yuan Xi began to look around, and no one appeared, but he saw a flat boat rowing to the shore between the blue sky and clear water. Yuan Xi has never seen this lake scenery since he was a child, and most of the sacred mountains in Tianyu Mountain are beautiful, with that gurgling stream, and he has only seen such a large lake for the second time.
The boat docked, a person came down, and walked in his direction, Yuan Xi secretly thought to himself, could it be that this person asked himself, so he walked forward.
The two got closer and closer, Lu Guanju was a little nervous, and his throat tightened, after all, he asked someone to meet like this, which would inevitably make people misunderstand, and he was thinking about how to speak.
When she was about twenty or thirty feet away, she stopped, turned to look at the lake, and a pair of plain hands with nowhere to put them on her chest, gently tugging at the belt of her clothes.
Yuan Xi didn't expect that the person walking on the opposite side turned out to be her.
When the two approached, the familiar smell wafted into his heart again, Yuan Xi slowed down, pretending to look at the scenery, but in his heart he was thinking, since he had met, should he say hello.
He decided in his heart that the person who asked him to meet him would definitely not be her, especially when he saw that Lu Guanju seemed to be standing on the side of the road avoiding him, Yuan Xi was even more determined.
It seems that you don't even need to say hello, so let's find out who is the one to meet you.
Thinking like this, Yuan Xi seemed to have put down a stone in his heart, and his steps were a little faster.
When he passed by that figure, Yuan Xi's heart was a little empty.
At this time, a small voice came to my ears,
"Hey~"
Lu Guanju lowered his head, as if looking at the lake, but in fact, all his attention was focused on the figure behind him. Seeing that he was about to miss her, she had to squeeze a faint mosquito sound out of her mouth.
Yuan Xi stopped, stood behind Lu Guanju, and asked suspiciously,
"Miss Lu, are you calling me?"
As soon as Lu Guanju turned around, he almost collided with Yuan Xi, and said a little angrily,
"You're the only one on the side, who don't you call me? What are you doing standing so close? Are you trying to take advantage of this girl?"
Yuan Xi looked surprised, why did she get angry when she didn't agree with her? She didn't seem to have done anything, but she just stood closer, not because she suddenly turned around.
But the way she turned her head was really good-looking.
Yuan Xi took half a step back and said,
"Miss Lu, I don't know what to call to live down?"
Seeing Yuan Xi retreat half a step, for some reason, Lu Guanju was a little annoyed in her heart, her apricot eyes were stunned, and she was just about to speak, when she heard Yuan Xi's question, she remembered that she had made an appointment to come over, and she did not leave her name.
Thinking of this, she was completely discouraged, and then said softly,
"Yuan Gongzi, I asked you to come to the lake. ”
From childhood to adulthood, Yuan Xi has never dealt with women of the same age, and is mostly an aunt and aunt in Wang Li Zhuang.
Although Lu Guanju is dressed as a man, she still can't hide her beauty.
Looking at it from afar, if the morning glow rises tomorrow, look at it closely, and scorch like a green wave.
The master did not teach Yuan Xi the love between men and women, but just told him that at that time, if he understands, he will understand, and if he doesn't understand, he will not reach that time.
At this time, maybe it was then, he just felt that the woman in front of him was good-looking, really good-looking.
The last time I said goodbye, Yuan Xi had regrets in her heart, I don't know if the two will meet again in the future, but what I didn't expect was that the two would meet again so soon, or she made an appointment with herself.
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman.
Lu Guanju is really a good name.
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, why did his voice suddenly become so soft? so soft that he didn't know what to do, and asked with a slight stammer,
"No, I don't know, Lu, Miss Lu is here, what's going on?"
Seeing the embarrassment of Yuan Xi, who seemed to be merciless to herself before, she was suddenly in a good mood, and laughed out loud.
The slender hand lightly blocked the red lips, and she spoke,
"After discussing boxing techniques with Yuan Gongzi a few days ago, I only felt that my boxing skills were far from Yuan Gongzi. Daddy was busy with military affairs, and he didn't have much time to guide me, so I thought of Yuan Gongzi, so I took the liberty to bother, and I hope to forgive me. After all, I am a girl's family, and this move is inappropriate, so the last time we met, I saw you come together with right and wrong, and it was inconvenient to show up, and I hope that my son will forgive me. ”
Yuan Xi smiled when he heard it,
"Miss Lu is polite, after all, there are differences between men and women, but Yuan Xi's boxing method is nothing more than that, how can she guide the general's daughter. ”
Lu Guanju glanced around, fortunately, there are not many people, and he is a man's attire, so there shouldn't be any problems, so he said,
"Yuan Gongzi, I am not that arrogant person, my father told me, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, you must be a bird in the air, don't be a frog at the bottom of the well, our Pingnan City is just a city in Bazhou, don't hide it from the son, this Pingnan City is still too small in the eyes of my Lu Guanju. ”
Yuan Xi listened to Lu Guanju's words, but she didn't expect her to have such a mind.
Thinking of this, his gaze swept slightly over the bulge in his chest, his face was slightly red, and he spoke,
"Since the girl said so, then listen to the girl. ”
Lu Guanju found an open place by the lake, talked to Yuan Xi and asked Yuan Gongzi for advice, and then played a set of flowing cloud hands.
The lake is clean, the people are light, the mountains are green, and the sky is blue from afar. The wind swept down, the water flowed out, went straight to Yaotai, and flew to the immortals.
Yuan Xi was dumbfounded.
For some reason, Lu Guanju felt that he was playing very comfortably this time, not like he was at home before, his fist was gradually chaotic, and his heart was unstable.
After closing the momentum, Lu Guanju clenched his fists.
Yuan Xi gently stroked his palm and exclaimed,
"The girl's palm play is really beautiful. ”
"Beauty?"
Lu Guanju was stunned for a moment, what kind of evaluation is this, and then said,
"Yuan Gongzi, can you see what's wrong?"
Yuan Xi said,
"The girl's palm technique is perfect, when I first met the girl, the girl and the gang of gangsters are in a hurry, and they are not chaotic, and they also have rules and regulations. However, at that time, the people who were hostile to the girl seemed to have left their hands, and the move was just to force the girl away, not fatal. Otherwise, the girl may have more chances of losing. In fact, that person's skills may not be as good as the girl, but they are more experienced in the enemy than the girl, and the man's strength is already stronger than the woman's, and they have a sword in their hand, so the girl will be defeated. Just now I admired the girl's beautiful palming, which is a compliment, but also a disadvantage of the girl. ”
Seeing that Lu Guanju was listening seriously, he continued,
"The girl's palm is elegant, and her shots are smooth, which makes people ponder, mostly because of the meaning of making the opponent unguardable. But the girl is now more than elegant, and her strength is insufficient. The girl tries her best to concentrate her strength in the palm of her hand, and at the same time pay attention to her body, to ensure that the blow is effective, otherwise when facing the enemy, there may be a situation where injuries are exchanged for life. ”
Lu Guanju was thoughtful, and then asked,
"Is it because of my lack of internal strength?"
Yuan Xi shook his head, and then said,
"Miss Lu, with all due respect, it's just that your palm technique is not lethal enough, your attack efficiency is not high, and your movements are more beautiful than practical. In my master's words, it's a showcase. Of course, with Miss Lu's identity, she may not need much lethality against the enemy. ”
Lu Guanju shook his head, and then said with a smile,
"Thank you Yuan Gongzi, I was assassinated before, and you also know it, with more self-preservation, you can also share more worries for your father. I want to practice boxing, but I don't have a suitable opponent, the little woman is abrupt, I wonder if Yuan Gongzi can practice boxing with me in the future?"
Hearing Lu Guanju say this, Yuan Xi's heartbeat began to speed up, what he didn't know was that the woman on the other side, after saying this, was even more like a deer in her heart.
The leaves are green, the green water is blazing, and there is a beautiful woman, on the water side.
