Chapter 18: In the Temple of Confucius (1)
The next morning, the sky cleared, and the green mountains and green forests became more and more verdant after being washed by the rain. The morning sun rises in the east, reflecting the red of the earth. The master and servant of the square silk clothes each rode donkeys and horses, and Gedeng Geden came to the Confucius Temple in the west of Qiulin Town. This Confucius Temple was built on the side of the post road, although it is not very majestic, but it is also quite magnificent, and the temple hall is full of incense smoke. Gua'er said: "Childe, that Dugu Wushuang's martial arts are extremely high, if she comes today, you really ...... Do you really want to duel her?"
Fang Shouyi turned a deaf ear, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but say: "Gua'er, how many times have you said this sentence today? Can you stop me? I have never seen such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law's scholar." Without further ado, follow me into the temple. ”
The two tied their mounts to a tree outside the temple. I only heard a clear chanting voice from the temple: "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists are only old in Jiangnan." The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is painted to listen to the rain. The people on the edge are like the moon, and the wrists are condensed with snow. If you are not old, you must return to your hometown, and you must break your intestines when you return to your hometown. ”
Fang Shouyi snorted: "Sour and sour, I don't know which poor sour show is pretending to be elegant here?"
Gua'er said: "Yes, this is not Jiangnan, what 'everyone says Jiangnan is good', isn't that poor beauty?"
Before the two of them finished speaking, they saw a person rushing out of the temple, his face was full of joy, and said, "Young Master Fang!" His face was snow-white, his chin was pointed, and he was dressed in a mink coat, it was Shen Bingxue.
Fang Shouyi frowned. Gua Er said: "Ah, Sister Shen, are you here too?"
Fang Shouyi seemed to be talking to himself: "It turns out that the poor sour Ding just now was you." Even the word "Xiucai" was omitted.
Shen Bingxue's face turned red and said, "No, no, it's not me." Young Master Fang, I've been waiting for you for a while. ”
Gua Er leaned into Fang Shouyi's ear and whispered: "Childe, we still can't get rid of her." ”
Fang Shouyi's face was full of displeasure, and he greeted Shen Bingxue lazily: "Hello!"
Shen Bingxue said: "Yes." You...... You're good too. ”
The two of them walked into the temple as they spoke. The main hall of this temple is very wide, the statue of Confucius is molded in the shrine on the front, and two candles are lit on both sides of the incense table, although it is daytime, it is still burning. In addition to the three people in the temple, there were two middle-aged tourists dressed in the clothes of wealthy merchants, who were admiring the layout of the temple, and when they heard the voices of the three people, they all glanced sideways to this side. The two of them were in their forties, with white faces and slight beards, handsome demeanor, dressed in yellow robes, and although it was a cold day, they held a folding fan in their hands. The other man was in his thirties, wearing a green shirt, with a clear face, and a flute was crooked behind his neck. The two were talking and laughing, and when they saw Fang Shouyi, both of them were slightly stunned, and then they both smiled lightly, turned their heads, and ignored them again.
Fang Shouyi said loudly: "Except for me and Gua'er, there are no others in this temple today." So Miss Shen, please leave for me. ”
Shen Bingxue's face was swollen and red, she never thought that she would be expelled here, she stood on the ground for a while, and it was not to go, and it was not to go.
At this time, the yellow-robed guest smiled slightly and said, "This girl doesn't pay attention to him." This Confucius Temple is not his, you can stay as long as you want. ”
Fang Shouyi glanced at him and shouted, "By the way, and you, you have to get out of here too!"
The yellow-robed guest smiled: "Ah, so domineering." ”
Fang Shouyi said: "Swords and guns have no eyes, and a group of wicked people will come later, and they will fight, I don't have the strength to protect you." ”
The yellow-robed guest said, "Oh, you're going to fight a duel?"
Fang Shouyi said: "Not bad." So I would like to advise you to leave. The grievances and hatreds on our rivers and lakes, you don't understand it. You hurry up and leave with this Shen girl, otherwise you won't know what's going on until you die. ”
The yellow-robed guest smiled slightly, and at this time he had come to Fang Shouyi's body, his nose shrugged, and there was an unpredictable and mysterious smile in his eyes, and he sighed lightly: "It's really fragrant!"
Fang Shouyi didn't hear clearly for a while, and said, "What did you say?"
The yellow-robed guest stared at Fang Shouyi's face and said, "It's really stunning." Alas, it is really stunning, and it is breathtaking to my generation. ”
Fang Shouyi was stunned by his staring, and shouted: "Bold!"
The yellow-robed guest didn't care, turned to Shen Bingxue, and said, "But I don't know what to call this Shen girl?"
Shen Bingxue said: "Shen Bingxue is underneath." ”
The yellow-robed guest: "Good name! This son is your ......"
Shen Bingxue's face couldn't help but turn red, and he said in a low voice, "Young Master Fang once saved me. ”
The yellow-robed guest nodded and said, "I see." The smile between his eyebrows and lips grew stronger.
Fang Shouyi said: "Hey, you are verbose, have you finished speaking?"
The yellow-robed guest said: "But I don't know the name of the young man?"
Fang Shouyi said: "Hey, why are you ...... old?"
Before he finished speaking, the yellow-robed guest had already intercepted and said: "In the future, I have always admired the heroes of the rivers and lakes, how can I miss it in person when I meet such a young hero as Shaoxia? ”
Fang Shouyi was held by him, and unconsciously turned anger into joy, and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." In the silk clothes below, there is a nickname on the rivers and lakes 'Fresh clothes and angry horses travel the world'. ”
The yellow-robed guest glanced at the green-shirted man beside him, and the green-shirted man shook his head slightly. The yellow-robed guest turned around and said, "But I don't know what your scholar is called?"
Gua'er was straightforward and said, "My name is Gua'er." ”
The yellow-robed guest smiled: "What kind of melon is it? melon or bitter melon?"
Gu'er sneered and said, "It's not a melon or a bitter gourd, it's a fool." ”
The yellow-robed guest said, "Look at your smart and clever, how can you be a fool?"
Gua'er said: "Follow my son-in-law, I'm not a fool and I've become a fool." She said this with feelings.
The yellow-robed guest seemed to feel the same way, nodded again and again, and said, "Wonderful!
Fang Shouyi was inspecting the terrain from all sides at this time, and saw Gu'er talking endlessly with the yellow-robed guest, and said, "Hey, sir, you can go." ”
The man in the green shirt took off the jade flute from the back of his neck and said, "But I don't know who Fang Gongzi is fighting with, can I tell you?"
Fang Shouyi said, "What do you know?"
The man in green shirt stretched out his right hand to Fang Shouyi and said, "That Fang Gongzi, let's not bother." ”
Fang Shouyi stretched out his hand and shook the hand of the man in green shirt lightly, and suddenly felt as if a loach had quickly and incoherently drilled in from the palm of his hand, shooting up along his arm. Fang Shouyi was stunned, and the "loach" quickly retreated, drilled out of the palm, and everything returned to normal. All this happened in an instant, Fang Shouyi didn't understand what was going on, the symptoms had disappeared, only his mind was slightly dizzy, and it was like a dream at this moment. Fang Shouyi opened his eyes vigorously, and the man in green shirt had already smiled and retreated, sitting on a futon in the corner of the house.
Gua Er already had a good impression of the yellow-robed guest, and said, "Uncle, what are your titles?"
The yellow-robed guest laughed and said, "My surname is Quan, ranked ninth, you can just call me the ninth master." Okay, don't bother your young master. As he spoke, he retreated to the corner of the room and sat side by side with the man in the green shirt. It turned out that what he said was "not to bother" was just to stop talking to them, not to leave. After the yellow-robed guest sat down, he beckoned to Shen Bingxue and said, "Miss Shen, come over and sit next to me." This Confucius Temple belongs to my family, so you don't have to leave. Shen Bingxue was skeptical, and finally sat on a futon next to the yellow-robed guest Ninth Master.
Fang Shouyi's eyes widened, and he said, "What, this Confucius Temple belongs to your family, you have such a big breath!"
Quan Jiuye said: "It's not mine, is it yours?"
Fang Shouyi said: "Although it's not mine, it's ......."
Quan Jiuye said: "Yes, this Confucius Temple is not yours, but mine." ”
Fang Shouyi was angry, Huo Di jumped in front of Quan Jiuye, and said, "You are looking for death!" raised his hand to attack, but his hand was immediately lowered again, and said: "Jianghu people don't bully people who have no power to restrain chickens." I will spare you today. If you are willing to wait here for death, wait for death here. Miss Shen, it's okay if you don't listen to me, but I hope you won't follow me like a ghost in the future. ”
Shen Bingxue's face was flushed, ashamed and anxious, unable to speak.
