Chapter 45, the uninvited guest of the school palace
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Jiusheng and the others have been living in Su County's private house for four days. On this morning, Tang Jiusheng was guiding Ximen Yushuang and Su Yuqing to practice martial arts in the back garden, Shui Ruyue and the fat man, Yin Sheng, Gao Chongyang, and Sun Jiangdong were watching the excitement on the side, but they heard a big chaos on the street from a distance, "A tiger has entered the city!"
At this time, the most prosperous street in the city, the people turned on their horses, and people screamed and fled in all directions, because a white tiger bigger than a cow entered the city and ran all the way along Tongzheng Street to the private house of Su Junshou. On the back of this big white tiger was a beautiful little girl wearing a white gauze dress and holding lotus bones.
Su Yuqing, who was practicing martial arts with his heart, suddenly saw this big white tiger who did not go through the main gate but jumped into the garden from the back wall, and was immediately frightened, his face was colorless, and he suddenly hid behind Tang Jiusheng. Ximen Yushuang, who was slowly closing on the side, sneered: "Master Su, it seems that 'bold and small' describes people like you?"
Su Yuqing, who was hiding behind Tang Jiusheng, turned pale and kept patting his chest with his hand, "I'm scared to death! I don't even run away when I see such a big tiger, so I'm not stupid? With my small body, eighty percent is not enough for this tiger to eat, right?"
Gao Chongyang and Sun Jiangdong had never seen this big white tiger and the cute little girl riding the tiger, but when they saw that the rest of them were calm and calm, they thought they knew each other, so they watched from the sidelines. The fairy girl smiled slightly, "Hello brothers and sisters, I'm here to see Brother Xiao Tang." β
Tang Jiusheng stepped forward, touched Lao Bai's head, and asked with a smile, "Sister Lingxian, why did you suddenly slip away before we entered Huzhou City?" and didn't tell me, which made me worry for several days. β
The fairy girl smiled apologetically, "I saw that the old monk and the little monk who were with you that night were in some trouble, and I thought I could help something, so I ran over." As a result, I was busy but didn't help, so I watched the excitement, and then went around outside the city for a few more days before I rushed over. β
Tang Jiusheng asked a little strangely, "What trouble can Zen Master Puxuan have such a high ability, besides, how do you know where he is?"
The fairy girl said: "I saw the atmospheric pillar on the old monk's head from a distance, so I summoned Lao Bai to go with me." On the lake outside the city, the old monk and a white-clothed scholar with a sword on his back fought, and a beautiful aunt in red sat next to him and watched the excitement. Watching the master fight with people, the little monk didn't seem to be in a hurry, just looking at the donkey and the beautiful sister sitting on the donkey's back. β
Ximen Yushuang said with a smile: "Fortunately, Master Su is not there, if Master Su sees it, Jiuchengjiu will take a group of minions to rob that beautiful girl, and then he will be beaten and run away, and go home to find his father and mother to lead the soldiers to help." Everyone laughed together, and Su Yuqing blushed, but did not say anything.
Tang Jiusheng laughed: "That girl in red must be Yue Lingbi, if Yue Lingbi is present, Grand Prince Su and his subordinates will have no chance to escape, and they will definitely be killed in one palm." And then what's going on?
The fairy girl recalled with some puzzlement: "The old monk and they fought all night, and it seemed that the scholar with the sword on his back and wearing white clothes had a slight advantage, but the gap didn't seem to be very big. The two fought to the end, saying that this time it would be like this, and there would be a chance to fight again in the future, so the old monk took the little monk and led the donkey with the beautiful sister away. β
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "The white-clothed scholar with the sword on his back may be Baiyue Pavilion. And then what happened to your red-clothed aunt?"
The fairy girl smiled, "Then, the beautiful aunt in red said to the scholar in white that she wanted him to rest well, and she would also fight with him." I rode Lao Bai over to persuade the fight, the scholar and the aunt saw me riding a tiger, they were very strange, so they asked me whose little girl I was, I said that my grandfather's name was Lei Yichen, and the two of them had strange expressions on their faces, and they left. β
According to the description of the fairy girl, Tang Jiusheng knew that Bai Yueting and the old monk had a fight, but he couldn't figure out why Yue Lingbi would go to Bai Yueting to fight, did he want to compete for the ranking on the hero list? It stands to reason that it shouldn't. The little fairy girl is naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, she naturally doesn't understand these things on the rivers and lakes, and if she asks her, she can't understand it, so it's better to wait for the opportunity to meet again in the future and ask the old monk in person.
The fairy girl asked with some curiosity, "Brother Tang, when are you going to see grandpa with me?"
Tang Jiusheng frowned and muttered for a long time, "In a few days, I'll settle here for a few days, I don't plan to take your two sisters with me, I want to send them back to the Jiangnan Provincial National Teacher's Mansion first." β
Ximen Yushuang slowly walked in front of Tang Jiusheng, wrinkled her pretty little nose, and asked a little aggrievedly: "Xianggong, do you think my martial arts are not good, and it is a burden to take me out?"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and rubbed her hair, "Silly girl, what are you thinking? Daddy of the National Teacher's Mansion needs more manpower there! You go back with the little junior sister and help Daddy take care of the housework, how much worry does Daddy have to save? Although I am not by Lao Luxu's side, you can help Daddy at home, and I can feel a little more relaxed!"
Glancing back at the fairy girl, Tang Jiusheng smiled, "Sister Lingxian, when the time comes, I want you to help send the two sisters to Jiangnan Dao, your old white can run faster than the old white that your brother Yin Sheng gave me!"
Yin Sheng laughed on the side and said: "My old white can be bought with money, but I can't afford to give it away to my sister's old white, it's the only one in the world!"
The fat man shook his head, "Old Tang, I also want to go to the National Teacher's Mansion to see, your unicorn Lao Hei borrowed me to ride! I think your black animal should be able to catch up with the white animal ridden by the fairy girl." β
Lao Bai, the tiger sitting on the ground, rarely showed a very humane unhappy expression, and the fat man laughed, "Just kidding, this animal is not happy! Hahaha, good, good, Lao Bai is a good tiger, not an ordinary animal." Lao Bai turned his head away and ignored the fat man.
......
Tianchang Mansion in Jiangnan Province, the Protector Mage's Mansion has returned to its former quiet after the third princess Yin Ruonan left, but today it is a little lively again.
No, there was a fat man riding a black unicorn and three beautiful girls sitting on a big white tiger without being informed, and they broke into the house directly, of course, it was very strange that no one stopped them. Because in the morning, the old national teacher said that four distinguished guests would come to visit at noon, and he specially instructed the gatekeepers not to stop them.
The fat man saw Tang Fulong, who had been waiting in front for a long time, and quickly jumped off the horse, with a flattering smile on his face, "Oh, Uncle Tang, I haven't seen you old for five or six years since I beat the capital, your old body still looks so tough, how does it look like an old man in his sixties? Like a young man in his thirties!"
Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang also hurriedly got off the tiger's back and greeted their future father-in-law, and the fairy girl also smiled and greeted Tang Fulong.
Tang Fulong, who was dressed in a purple coat, stretched out his hand to pick up the two future daughters-in-law, and laughed, "I heard the magpie cry in the morning, and I flipped through my book of heaven casually. This little fat man is not bad, and he also knows how to escort your two sisters-in-law home, and the old man will invite you to eat donkey meat at noon!"
When the fat man heard that there was donkey meat to eat, he was very happy, "Or the old man knows the little fat best, you said this, I just remembered the little fat, it seems that I haven't eaten donkey meat for a long time, I can have a full meal today, and my heart is beautiful!"
Tang Fulong asked with a smile, "Knowing that you have a big intestine, I secretly asked, is a donkey enough for you to eat?"
The fat man smiled and said, "Enough is enough, how can I eat a donkey? A donkey of 300 catties, how can I produce 120 catties of meat, I have 50 catties of meat for a meal." However, this white animal can eat it, and it is estimated that two donkeys are not enough for it to eat. β
Lao Bai rolled his eyes at the fat man, twisted his face to the side and ignored him, Tang Fulong and the three girls laughed.
Tang Fulong looked at the two future daughters-in-law with a smile, "This kid has a vision, these two daughters-in-law are well chosen, beautiful and can prosper the family, if his mother is still alive, he must be very happy!"
The old man took a few people to the banquet hall of the National Teacher's Mansion, and there was talk and laughter along the way.
Early the next morning, the fat man left the unicorn horse, said goodbye to Tang Fulong and his two sisters-in-law, and rode Lao Bai back to Huzhou Mansion in Jiannan Province with the fairy girl.
Looking at the back of the fairy girl and the fat man riding away on a tiger, Tang Fulong suddenly sighed: "I haven't seen you for two years, I miss my son!"
Shui Ruyu smiled slightly, "Daddy doesn't have to worry about it, everything is fine with him." β
Tang Fulong looked at his daughter-in-law and shook his head, "Child, don't make your father happy, he is injured." Isn't this girl riding a tiger here to pick him up and take him to Luming Mountain?"
Ximen Yushuang was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Dad, do you know everything?"
Tang Fulong took his hands, looked at the fat man who disappeared from sight, and said slowly: "The Tang family can be a hereditary national teacher, of course, there are some doorways. Although Daddy can't be said to be an unpredictable prophet, he is not much worse. It doesn't matter, the little son has a big life. When he returns, Daddy will arrange your marriage. β
Although Ximen Yushuang and Shui Ruyue were a little shy, they were happy in their hearts, and they looked at each other and smiled sweetly. Tang Fulong turned his head and said: "You two sisters will live in Yayi Garden from now on, I will arrange a few mothers-in-law and maids to live with you, when there is something, you will come over to help, when you have nothing to do, practice piano and study or practice martial arts or even be a female celebrity, you arrange it yourself." β
......
The Heyue School Palace, the head of the four university palaces of the Great Shang Kingdom, is located at the foot of Qifeng Mountain in Tianchang Mansion, Jiangnan Province, covering an area of more than 500 acres, the size of half an imperial city.
The Heyue School Palace is divided into two schools, civil and military, and is divided into two courtyards. The outer courtyard recruits talents, and the inner courtyard only accepts geniuses. Tang Jiusheng, Gao Chongyang, Sun Jiangdong, Shui Ruyue and others were all students of the Inner Courtyard back then. It's just that Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue's grades are top-notch, while Gao Chongyang and Sun Jiangdong's studies are mediocre, and they can only be regarded as middle and lower-class.
There is a quiet hall in the inner courtyard, there is an old gentleman named Qiu Shanze, not eighty but also more than seventy, wearing a long shirt and thin, gray hair, usually teaching some poetry and songs, and also quietly accepted two students but taught them to practice martial arts, those two children, one is called Tang Jiusheng, and the other is called Shui Ruyue.
Tang Jiusheng begged the master to accept his two friends, Gao Chongyang and Sun Jiangdong, but the old man insisted on refusing to accept them, saying that he had no master-apprentice relationship with these two children.
Heyue School Palace has four days off every month, and today is the third rest day of the month, there are no students studying in the Jingqi Hall, so it is naturally quiet, and the white-haired old Mr. Qiu is sitting on a chair and napping. Suddenly, someone outside the window spoke, "Old fellow, you've been hiding here for decades, you should have thought that I would come to you, right?"
Mr. Qiu, who woke up in his sleep, looked at the uninvited guest outside the window, sat up straight, and laughed, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come today?"
