Chapter 47: The Past
Senior Brother Pei took the copper plate from Su Xin's hand and said, "Xiao Xinzi, do you remember this copper coin?"
Su Xin looked at it confidently and found that there was nothing peculiar about the copper coin, but there was a word 'letter' engraved crookedly on the back, and when he saw this word, he suddenly remembered it, and said in surprise: "Senior brother, isn't this the one I gave you when we entered the sect?"
Senior Brother Bei nodded slightly, rubbed the old copper coin in his hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Senior brother, seven of my family of eight starved to death that year, and when you and Master came, I already had only one breath left, if you hadn't spent money to buy me a steamed bun, how could I be today?"
Su Xin was stunned, and also recalled a rebellion that occurred at that time, the people in his hometown died and ran, and he couldn't remember what his family was like, but he remembered that his mother gave him a copper coin before she died, and she wanted to live well.
I was afraid that the copper money would be lost, so I carved a letter on it with a small stone, which was the first word that my mother taught him to write, and he didn't write very well at that time...
He was only five or six years old at that time, and he took the copper coin and died in the chaos, but fortunately, the master passed by, and when he saw that he was pitiful, he led him back to the mountain.
On the way back to the mountain, he met his senior brother who was also ruined by the disaster and turmoil, so the master let himself spend the copper coin to buy a steamed bun to save the senior brother.
Su Xin thought of these past events, and he should have felt a lot of pain in his heart, but his heart was calm, and he only felt that the past was like smoke, and the scenes flashed in front of his eyes, and he was not too touched.
Perhaps, it was because I was too young to remember clearly, or perhaps, it was because too much time had passed and everything was annihilated.
Seeing that his senior brother was in tears, he comforted: "Senior brother, fortunately, you and I have both grown up under the protection of the master, and we will never have to suffer those hardships in the future, why do you bring up those things, where did you find this copper coin, how can you still find it after so many years." ”
Senior Brother Bei also suddenly saw that his junior brother was just aroused, and when he heard this, he immediately reacted, put the copper coin in Su Xin's hand again, and said: "Speaking of this copper coin, I also spent a lot of effort, senior brother has done a lot of business in the past two years, once passing by his hometown, it is inevitable to go back to see, and find that the old man who sells steamed buns has not moved, I stepped forward to talk to him, he even remembers me, this copper coin is also from him." Hehe, the people in my hometown are misers, they don't spend money when they earn money, they put it in a clay pot to hide, the reason why I have an impression of this copper coin, one is because the two of us were miserable at the time, and the other is because the words you carved are too ugly, people are not willing to accept it, you say this is not fate. For the sake of your copper coin, the senior brother exchanged the same weight of gold for his pot of copper plate, which can be regarded as repaying his past kindness. ”
Su Xin nodded yes, and put away the copper plate preciously, he and his third senior brother Bei Tengyun entered the mountain together, coupled with the similar background, there is always a sense of sympathy, so they take care of each other in the valley, and the feelings are the deepest, and they are very happy to see him earn such a family business in less than three years.
The two chatted for a while, and then turned to Jinhai Tower, Su Xin pointed at Peng Hu and said, "Senior brother, the rules and regulations in your building are too strict, and it is always very bad to let your subordinates kill people on the street." ”
Bei Tengyun smiled: "Xiao Xinzi, since you were a child, Master has said that you have soft ears and soft hearts, and you like to read Confucian poetry and books, no wonder Master doesn't dare to let you go down the mountain early, if you are weak, it is difficult to move an inch on the rivers and lakes." Although it seems to be stable today, in fact there are dark tides everywhere, you need to be careful everywhere. ”
"In addition, if my Jin Hailou is really cruel and ruthless, is it true that many people who follow me are like this? If I really have no rules and are unreasonable, how can I develop to this point? Hehe, but you don't need to know these things now, you just went down the mountain, and the things under the mountain are different from those on the mountain, and you have to learn slowly. ”
Su Xin listened to it silently for a long time, although he didn't particularly agree with it in his heart, he couldn't refute it for a while, so he had to nod and say, "What Senior Brother said is true." ”
Bei Tengyun nodded with satisfaction, beckoned Peng Hu to come over, and sighed lightly: "It's not that I deliberately embarrassed you, it's just that the rules are like this, and I can't change them in vain." ”
Peng Hu leaned over and did not refute.
Bei Tengyun pondered for a moment and said, "You escaped and should have been sentenced to death, but now my virtuous brother is interceding for you..."
He looked at Xiaokang, only felt young and ignorant, looked at Hu Congxin, and saw that he looked middle-aged and sloppy, and shook his head even more, and said: "My virtuous brother is now short of an entourage, you are by his side, listen to his dispatch, and you don't need to do anything else, what do you think?"
When Peng Hu heard this, he immediately bowed his head and thanked him.
Su Xin frowned, but immediately reacted, this is it inconvenient for Bei Tengyun to speak directly, it is to push Peng Hu's hot potato into his hands, and he responded with a slight smile.
Peng Hu thanked the two of them again, and his face was so relaxed that he stood with Hu Congxin, he had been hunted down and killed for a long time, and he had already regretted it in his heart, and now he could have hope of rebirth, let alone think of anything else, so he immediately agreed.
Seeing this, Bei Tengyun no longer took this matter to heart, laughed twice, clapped his hands and let the reckless man Agu in, and ordered: "Call two tables of good dishes in the kitchen, and you will come over later, and accompany these people to have a few drinks, everyone will be a family in the future, and there is no need to mention the previous things." ”
Agu was ordered to retreat, and after a while, someone cleaned up the hall, and two tables of wine and food were brought to the table.
The two tables are the same wine and dishes, a pot of pearl jade and white jade soup in the middle, eight kinds of my exquisite dishes outside, four cold and four hot, all of which are seasonal vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp, at a glance it is made by the chef, the color and fragrance are complete, and before it is close, there is a fragrant smell.
Bei Tengyun and Su Xin are at one table, and the rest are at one table, and the guests and hosts are happy.
Bei Tengyun and Su Xin haven't seen each other for a long time, since there are many things to say, the two talked about the old things in Yunmeng Valley, thinking of all kinds of things when they were learning art, they couldn't help but be very happy, especially Bei Tengyun has been away from the valley for three years, and he misses the things in the valley very much.
The other table was even more lively, Xiaokang was smart and clever, and he became acquainted with Agu and others after a while. Hu Congxin was very arrogant, he didn't know stage fright at all, and he poured wine for everyone but had some master posture.
Only Peng Hu was silent, but under the mediation of Hu Congxin, he gradually regained his clarity, and everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they were all familiar with it.
