Chapter 21 Tang Ao's free and easy
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the feast.
At the time of the feast, regardless of sects, you can sit in a mess, today is not only the 100th birthday, but also a good time for various sects to communicate with each other.
The other children of the Kongjing Buddha Temple all set up a banquet at the outer gate to eat, and these invited guests and the eight Puhua brothers all dined in the inner courtyard, and nearly sixty tables were arranged, which can be regarded as a grand event.
Yang Feng and the others naturally went to Shangguan Mansion together, and An Ziyu also happily brought An Tongping, plus five people from Shangguan Mansion, exactly ten people.
An Tongping looked a little jerky, and he didn't know how to let go or how to open his mouth for a while, after all, Shangguan Mansion is also famous in the rivers and lakes, and what he admires most is these famous people. Shangguan Jinfeng sat next to him, and saw An Tongping's discomfort, so he said: "An Lao is really old and strong, I heard Ziyu say that your old man has no aging at all, and when I saw it today, it was really so." ”
An Tongping immediately replied politely: "The Golden Phoenix Patriarch is also young and beautiful, and his charm still exists. ”
Shangguan Jinfeng was happy and said generously: "Then I will give you a drink." ”
"Good. After a cup of hot tea, An Tongping was at ease.
Because Buddhism does not drink alcohol or eat meat, so today's banquet is all tea instead of wine, only vegetarian dishes and no meat dishes, but everyone still eats lively, after all, it is a great honor to be here.
Tang Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea, and then turned over a green vegetable in the bowl and complained: "Hey, this Buddhism is pure, clear tea and vegetarian dishes, how can it be delicious." ”
Shangguan Yunfei said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, wait for my men to slip out, and I will go up the mountain to hunt a fat bird and roast it for you." ”
"That's not going to work. Tang Xiaoxiao learned from An Ziyu and said: "My father said that you must be polite in life. This statement can make everyone happy, but An Tongping didn't know it, and praised: "I heard that Tang Ao was arrogant and uninhibited, but I didn't expect the daughter who taught him to be so polite, and An admired it." ”
Seeing this, Yang Feng privately followed Shangguan Yunfei to learn An Tongping's tone of speech. Tang Xiaoxiao was also happy: "Actually, I am a student of jade, how can my father tell this." He would only tell me where to eat today, which house to steal money from tomorrow, and until he died, he would ask me for a drink. ”
Tang Xiaoxiao has always been very optimistic, when it comes to this, Shangguan Jinfeng subconsciously patted her back to express comfort, Tang Xiaoxiao laughed again: "Don't worry, my father often said that people have a destiny, and being a thief in this life is also a good thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, and Lord Yama will treat him well." ”
An Tongping recalled: "At that time, I had seen your father's heroic appearance. ”
Tang Xiaoxiao said: "Have you seen my father?"
An Ziyu asked almost at the same time, "Dad, have you seen his father?"
At this time, the eyes of the people at the table were all attracted at once, even Shangguan Jinfeng, who had seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, had never seen Tang Ao.
An Tongping took another sip of hot tea and said, "It was twenty years ago, and your father said that he would steal the ancestral treasure of the general of Nanshan Mansion, Jade Ruyi. At that time, Nanshan Ling's name was An Fulu, and he was my half-brother. At that time, I was still a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, in fact, since I was thirteen years old and worshiped under the Sixth Son Master, I haven't seen each other for many years. On that day, he wrote to me to ask him to do him a favor, saying that I knew martial arts, and these days were the key, and I needed to go south to help him guard the secret room where Yu Ruyi was guarded. Although the two of us are not related by blood, and it is not a good brotherhood, but for the sake of his mother who has served my father for many years, I explained to my master my intentions, took half a month off, and rushed to Nanshan County with my sword. An Fulu didn't dare to speak out, so he could only eat deflated secretly. ”
Shangguan Jinfeng continued: "I remember that at that time, the people all over the world were tightening their belts, and even the feudal officials did not have a few treasures at home, and if they had more, they had to confiscate and support the military rations of the frontier. ”
An Tongping nodded and said: "That's right, it was a special period at that time, and he had a large piece of jade Ruyi, but he didn't dare to tell people easily, so he secretly asked me for help." That night, it was winter, and the snow was falling heavily. On the second day, the sky cleared. On the third day, the snow melted, but Tang Ao still didn't come. An Fulu told me that the king of thieves will do what he says, and that he will not come after the three-day danger period has passed. On the fourth day, Anfulu gave me a practice. When I left Nanshan, I passed by a forest, but I saw Tang Ao there. He was lying on the branch of a big tree and drinking a little wine, and if it hadn't been for a chicken bone that fell and hit me, I am afraid I would not have had the opportunity to see him.
Tang Ao looked at me defiantly and said my name. I returned the salute and knew that he was the king of thieves.
Tang Ao asked me with a smile: "In the past three days, I have been scared. ”
I said frankly: "It's a little excited, but it's not my jade Ruyi, if you keep it, it's kindness, if you don't keep it, you can't blame me." ”
Tang Ao asked me again, "Do you know why I didn't steal that jade Ruyi?"
I shook my head, and Tang Ao continued: "I fell in love with a girl who was outside the staff, and the matter of the bride price tortured me to the point of anxiety. Originally, I fell in love with An Fulu's jade Ruyi, but just three days ago, this girl told me that if it was a stolen bride price, she would rather not marry me. ”
I smiled and asked, "Then you have a unique skill and have been stealing for so many years, how can you not have a private collection?"
Tang Ao spread his hands and said, "I didn't think I would be emotional before, so I either ate the things I stolen, drank them, or gave them away." ”
I asked, "Then are you going to marry this young lady now?"
Tang Ao looked at the chicken leg in his hand, threw it to me, drank the last drop of wine, lay down and said, "Don't marry, it's better to be alone." Please turn back and tell An Fulu that if he is not a good official in Nanshan in the future, then Yu Ruyi and Tang Ao are determined to win. ”
An Tongping said me, Yang Feng asked curiously, "Tang Xiaoxiao, who is your mother?"
"I don't know. Tang Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and said: "My father often said that I actually picked it up, but I carefully looked in the mirror to see his true face after washing his face, and the two of us are really like father and daughter." ”
An Tongping sighed and said: "Tang Ao is afraid that I am the most relaxed person I have ever seen in my life, ordinary people will inevitably have a change in their expressions when they say this, but he can look at it lightly." ”
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "My father often said that the highest state of life is to have no troubles, if Qingzhusheng's hero list can add this item, then he is the first." ”
"Then I'm not the second. Shangguan Yunfei joked.
"Then I'm the third. An Ziyu also followed the nonsense.
Yang Feng originally wanted to coax along, but suddenly thought of something and stopped. His troubles are incomprehensible.
Tang Xiaoxiao responded: "I'm the second, you can't be ranked." ”
