Li Bing and Wei Ze drove into Chang'an City in a car, and did not return to Xiangwang's Mansion, and second, they did not go to Yongda Hall, but ran to Jingzhao Yamen in a dignified manner.

It's been more than five days since Anzi's incident, but she hasn't received any useful news.

The first thing Li Bing did when he returned to Chang'an was to ask Fu Yin for an explanation.

The two of them had just approached the wide yamen, and although the soldiers guarding the door didn't recognize Li Bing, they recognized the flag of the palace on the car, not only did they not dare to drive away, but they also rushed up to meet them.

But the other side is ......

The boatman shook his oars, a ripple rippled in the clear canal, and a canopy boat sailed into the hole of the bluestone arch bridge.

The stone arch bridge is not big, more than two zhang, and is piled up by dozens of bluestone blocks of five feet square. It is erected on the river, slightly raised, and there are barely two awning boats under the bridge.

On both sides of the canal, there are bluestone streets, at a glance, the houses with black tiles and sloping roofs are stacked and scattered, reflecting the green willows bending down, compared with the regular and majestic Chang'an, there is a little more agility and elegance.

"Yo~!Sell water chestnut~!Salt water?flash wonton?shake?? Huh?? There are also wormwood boiled broad beans and honey simmered chestnuts, all of which are hot...... Come and buy it~. ”

As soon as the canopy boat came out of the bridge hole, another boat came head-on, and there were three cauldrons in the middle of the boat, all of which were simmering over low heat. At the stern of the boat was a middle-aged short man rocking an oar, and at the bow was an old sister-in-law in her forties, with a crimson skirt and a dark green shirt, shaking the silk in her hand, selling along the river street. With a smile and a smile, there are still four words in the charm of the moment.

She said Wu Yue language, this accent was originally tactful and beautiful, and the old sister-in-law spoke more gently, volatilizing the charming temperament of Wu Yue language to the fullest.

The short man saw that the "pennant with blue edge and red cloth" was planted on the canopy boat that came out of the hole in the stone arch bridge, so he stopped, lightly touched the canopy boat, and stopped side by side in the middle of the river.

The meaning of the "blue and red cloth pennant" means that the boat is not a private boat, but a "call boat", which specializes in ferrying people up and down the river, and most of the people in it are not locals.

The old sister-in-law and the man who called the boat were old acquaintances, greeted each other, and then leaned into the shed, and looked at the guests sitting inside, a white-clothed girl with a hat, and a thin offspring of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Hakka is well?" the old sister-in-law first greeted in Wu Yue, looked at the latter life and was puzzled, and quickly changed the official language.

"Distinguished guests, do you want to order cooked food, it is a specialty of Gusu and cannot be eaten in other places. "This official language is correct and round, and I can't hear the slightest Gusu accent.

Without waiting for the latter to speak, the Dao Gu nodded slightly and said softly: "My nephew is the first time to come to Gusu, so let's come a little bit of everything." With that, he reached for the purse in his sleeve.

The pretty old sister-in-law responded smartly, turned around and took out three lotus leaves from the boat, quickly wrapped three packs of food, and said: "The guest is from afar, I will give you some more." ”

She gave the minister at the stern of the boat a look, motioned for him to collect the money, and handed over the water chestnut, broad beans and chestnuts to the descendants: "Just out of the pot, guest, be careful of scalding!"

This boiled food was really hot, and it almost fell into the river. Hou Sheng hurriedly put the food in his arms and thanked him and returned to the cabin.

This place is called "Qingxipu", which is a small town in Gusu, not too far from Suzhou Mansion, only fifty miles.

It was originally the confluence of the three rivers, frequent floods, and few people, and then the big water was diverted, only the small river remained, and then it was gradually inhabited, one by one the black tile wooden houses, built along the river, falling along the trend, layer upon layer, very casual.

At first, there were waterways to enter and exit here, and families took boats. Later, more and more people lived there, and gradually there were some dry road arch bridges, which are now half and half.

This flooded place has an advantage, that is, the land is fertile, everything can grow well, and the mulberry trees can grow in a year, and the climate here is warm, and it is a good place to raise silkworms. The town has a population of nearly 10,000, most of whom are mulberry farmers and silkworm farmers, as well as some paper mills, lotus root farmers, and fishermen.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft is the truest portrayal here. The town is bustling with business on weekdays and is extremely lively.

The Hulai boat sailed a short distance along the waterway, and the man stopped against the steps of the water, and said softly: "Hakka, it's here." ”

The two walked out of the cabin and looked up:

Next to the canal, on top of seven or eight stone steps, there is a dry road, not very wide, which is roughly enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass. There is a house next to it, with blue bricks and tiles, a few towering trees in the yard, and dense green leaves and yellow flowers, which is very spectacular.

"Eh, isn't it 'Zhuo Zhuang Village'? Why did it change to 'Qian Zhuang Village'?" Dao Gu looked at Zhuangzi's plaque and said in surprise.

"Hakka hasn't been here for many years. After the old master of the Zhuangzi passed away a few years ago, the name of the Zhuangzi was changed. Now in charge of Zhuangzi are the two sons of the old master. The two brothers are in harmony, and the silk on their Zhuangzi is also good. Many people rushed to buy it. I think this little brother is so well dressed, he is also in the silk business. This winter month, are you here to buy silkworm seeds?, or to buy and sell mulberry leaves? ”

"I'm here to visit my family. Aunt Shirato gave the money, got off the boat, and whispered to her nephew, "Go and call the door." ”

This nephew is "An Qingfang". He rarely wears such a formal dress, wearing a plain white silk robe, although it is not as luxurious as a large family, but it is capable, and his hair is tied up with a scarf, which is full of neutrality and spirit.

After three days, his temperament changed greatly. If Li Bing is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize it.

"Knock knock. ”

There were three soft knocks on the door, and the one who opened the door was a female envoy, in her twenties, beautiful and lovely. She said something Wu Yue, but Anzi didn't understand, but said: "We are here to visit relatives, Wuwei! ”

The envoy hurriedly opened the door: "Distinguished guests, please come in, the head of the house has already ordered." ”

After speaking, he took the two of them in, and first went to the seven or eight large basket shelves in the courtyard of the middle courtyard, each with more than ten layers, and the top was still empty, and it was estimated that it was not yet the season to hatch silkworm seeds.

"Honorable guest, please come here. ”

Anzi followed her into the backyard, which was larger, a mulberry forest, but the leaves were all gone. There is a small pond behind the forest, there are a few herring in the pond, a small arch bridge is erected on it, the bridge is opposite a bamboo forest, it is a dwarf bamboo unique to Gusu, the color is brighter and greener than the ordinary bamboo, and it looks more delicate.

After the bamboo forest, it is the residence of the two owners.

The girl asked the two to sit down in the side hall, served the flower tea and left.

Gusu Dijie green tea is also not uncommon, but flower tea is more common. Anzi opened the lid and saw that all kinds of red, red, green and green flowers covered the water, and he couldn't name it, but he thought it was delicate and beautiful, and just wanted to take a sip and taste the taste, someone pushed the door in.

"Sister Ziru, it's really you. I haven't heard from me for more than ten years, and when I received the letter, I was taken aback. Where's Brother Siming? Didn't you come along?"

The two people who came in were middle-aged men in their thirties, dressed and temperamentally similar, and were generous. They looked Anzi up and down, and finally their eyes fell on Dao Gu.

"He had leg problems and couldn't make the trip. Dao Gu took off the white hat, showed a straight face, and smiled faintly at the two owners. She is the person Lu Ziru that Sun Wuyi once thought about.

"Akihito, Kahwa. I remember the last time we met, you were both the size of my nephew...... It's been so many years. Ziru looked at the two people in front of her and recalled the old days.

The two owners of this "Qianju Village" are both surnamed Xie and have known Ziru since childhood. This story has to start with Rongjiao.

Although the eight disciples and sixteen venerables of each generation are disciplined by the two envoys, the number of martial arts and the character of each generation are different, but the four caves have been continued, and each performs its own duties, which has remained unchanged for a long time.

Among the "Four Caves of Rongjiao", the "Guiyuan Cave" is responsible for studying the world's strange skills. Forging, medicine, inscriptions, fine gold, stone skills, mechanisms, etc., are all inclusive, and craftsmen all over the world, regardless of category, have produced many geniuses.

In the Guiyuan Cave of the previous generation of Rongjiao, there is a pair of fairy heroes, known as "Guiyuan Two Immortals".

And the word "two immortals" is not called casually, this husband is a real forging craftsman immortal, because he likes to forge cold swords, he is named "cold sand";

Medical Tao is not like forging, there are strict boundaries, as long as the medical skills are superb, they will be honored as medical immortals, most of them just add the word medical immortal after the name, and there are few titles. This wife was also called "Warm Jade Doctor Fairy" after she got married.

The two immortals of Guiyuan got married late, and when they got a child when they were old, they were already forty years old, even if the warm jade doctor immortal had superb medical skills, after all kinds of conditioning, they also closed the ghost gate during childbirth, but fortunately, the baby landed safely, and the mother and son were all unharmed. Named Zhaoren and Jiahe.

At that time, An Lushan, Shi Siming, Lu Ziru, Sun Wuyi, and Liang Haocun respected the two immortals, and cultivated their two sons as the descendants of Rongjiao, and taught them carefully from an early age, which was better than a brother.

After the Anshi Rebellion was quelled, Guiyuan Cave also suffered a disaster, and many people scattered and fled, hiding their names and changing their identities to avoid being tracked down by the imperial court. The traces of Rongjiao were originally ethereal, and few people in the four caves knew about it, so it was not difficult to change identities and live in peace.

And this Guiyuan two immortals settled in this "Qingxipu", bought this "Zhuo Zhuang Village", in order to avoid suspicion, only do silk business on the surface, until a few years ago, the second old man died, this Zhuang changed its name to Qianjuzhuang.

After some pleasantries, Lu Ziru quickly got to the point.

"I'm here to ask the two of you to take care of one person for me. Come, Qingfang, I have seen the owner of the big village and the owner of the second village. She pointed at An Zi and said, "This is my nephew, An! As she spoke, she deliberately emphasized her surname.

An Zi saluted the two owners, Xie Jiahe only cared about returning the salute, but Xie Zhaoren seemed to react: "An Qingfang, I remember that the eldest son of Brother Lushan is called An Qingxu." Could it be that he is ......"

"Not bad. He is the last son of my big brother. In the early years, he wandered outside, and the second brother Siming only came back a few days ago, and originally wanted to stay by his side to teach, but the second brother's health was getting worse and worse, and Li Tang's officers and soldiers had been tracking his tracks, taking him with him, but it might delay his success. This time, I just want to ask the two of you to take care of him for a while and teach him skills. ”

Xie Jiahe responded, but frowned slightly: "Brother Lushan's children are naturally also our relatives. There is no problem with this Zhuangzi as long as he wants, but when it comes to teaching skills. The kung fu of the two of us is shallow, I'm afraid we won't be able to get into Sister Ziru's eyes. As for the clerical affairs, it is only a rough ......"

"It doesn't matter. Lu Ziru shook her head slightly: "Martial arts and knowledge will be taught by others in the future, and what I want him to learn here is the 'Fusion Forging Technique' of the Lord Xie Dazhuang and the 'Medical Dao Wonderful Method' of the Second Zhuang Master." Qing Fang's nephew once learned some forging fur in the Northern Meridian Sect, which can be regarded as a rough forging discipline. But there is no foundation in medicine. ”

Xie Zhaoren suddenly became cheerful, and clapped his palms: "This is very good! We have been taken care of a lot by Brother An, since our nephew wants to learn, we will never hide our selfishness." I was able to forge a sword from Yipin a few years ago, but it has not yet been revealed in the rivers and lakes. If I want to learn blacksmithing, I will definitely not delay my nephew.

Moreover, the forging technique of this fusion sect is unique, and it is different from the three sects of the soldiers, the Mo family, and the fire chong. In the future, if my nephew can learn from both the two families, we may be able to produce a fourth Tang Dynasty Craftsman Immortal, even better than me!"

Xie Jiahe also said: "The medical Tao of Rongjiao is very complicated. It is a little more difficult to learn the medical cases of various families and factions, but since Nephew An has no foundation, I can start from the 'Qingmiao' lineage, and wait until I enter the door, and then learn my medical Taoism. ”

"Thank you, two!" Ziru thanked softly, and looked at Anzi again: "Qingfang, bow to the teacher." ”

Anzi was very obedient, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt in front of the two.

"I can't do it, I can't do it. Brother An's widow ......" Xie Zhaoren hurriedly went to help, but was stopped by Lu Ziru and waited for An Zi to finish the three bows.

"Qingfang, you have to remember. Your second uncle Siming wants to train you to become a talent, and you have to learn the best things in the world. The owner of the big village is a craftsman, and the medical skills of the second owner are extremely high. How many people in the world want to worship the door but can't, you have to know how to cherish, study hard, and don't be lazy. After half a year, whether you succeed or not, I will pick you up. ”

After she finished speaking, she was still not at ease, and told again: "Don't live up to the expectations of Second Uncle Siming, and don't lose to your sworn brother and insult your father's name!"
