The source of Qinshui in the north, on the top of Xuankong Mountain, sitting on the stone slab on the edge of the cliff, the two heavens and the earth are blowing cows, Liu Yi said the story of the sword fairy he heard under the Hebi Sword Sect Mountain, and also saw the sword fairy Baili Qingqing, Baili Qingqing also taught him martial arts, the little Taoist boy who has been on the mountain since he was a child swayed and retreated, and he was very envious of Liu Yi with a look of longing for the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Liu Yi told him that the strange novels told by the scholars under the mountain, as well as the Qinglou painting boat on the bank of the river and lake,

Then Liu Yi talked about the rural songs he heard, as well as the boat songs that Xiao Sheng, the sword training master of Shanshui Village, sang to him.

"Long bridge, short bridge, Yang Yan, front and back lotus. People look at the flag out of the wine market, send the boat back to the fisherman, the turmoil is about to rise, and the smoke will be oblique...... Dig mallard duck bucket, turn over the redtail fish jump, the sand is wide and the water is narrow and the river is stable, the garden is short and the road is long, the people fight for the slanting sun, the moon wants to be in the garden when the tide is big, I am more than the sky seems to be no, the flat boat is drunk and blowing...... The mountains and rivers on the side of the bell are far away, the wind and rain at the bottom of the tent are rainy, the hungry crabs are falling into the sand, the birds are reflecting the bamboo, and the girls are resting for the two pulps, in order to sing the song of Wu Nong......"

Xiao Daotong threw away the earthworm that was about to feed the crane slowly, threw the wooden basin down the mountain, stood up and ran back and said: "This song has Taoist sincerity, I'll go to the library to flip through the books." ”

After the little Taoist boy left, Liu Yi was bored, and tried to put his legs on the edge of the cliff to dangle, an unenlightened crane mistook Liu Yi for a small Taoist boy and landed on Liu Yi's thigh, Liu Yi said unintentionally, I like him so much, then I will transform into the green cow of the ancestor of Xuankong Mountain, and take him to Salu Mountain to turn over the three thousand Daozang.

......

Yang Zhi invited Zhou and Chen to the two big pillars, and after sending the two to the outside of the palace, the two big pillars entered the palace, but he didn't go in, squinted at the imperial city, and ordered: "Guy, go." ”

The old servant asked, "Childe, where are we going?"

Yang Zhi, who was sitting in the carriage, was stunned with a stunned look in his eyes, and said softly: "Actually, I don't know where to go, today, the former dog meat is on the table, and I behaved very well." ”

The old servant felt that the son had changed, he had become less talkative and not fun-loving, and he had become even more unhappy, thinking that it must be because he was a big official, what was so good about this official, he was given food every day, and he couldn't chew the meat, and he had lost two front teeth for most of the year! The son had no appetite, and he had lost a lot of weight.

Qi'er wanted to persuade Gongzi to stop being this official, but he didn't dare to say that since he became a big official who he didn't know what he did, there was a lot of money, so much that he couldn't count it, and there were many people who sent money to them, and they also had big houses, which were much bigger than the previous huts, but there were no huts to live in, this big house!

At the beginning, I persuaded my son that the money he picked up could not be used to make houses and other utensils, but should be used to buy food, otherwise he would be unlucky.

Later, I looked at the pile of white gold and silver jewelry, where to buy and eat, of course, there were some flowers on playing, I thought that Gongzi could stop playing for a few days, but after Gongzi entered Beijing, his heart floated, and he fought cocks and crickets every day, and Jinshan Yinshan couldn't stand such a waste.

At first, the old servant thought that Gongzi was happy, and the poorest only wanted food, and besides, many people in the city who asked for food were black and fat, how did Gongzi say that, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the first good district, how can there be a reason for people to starve to death." ”

The old servant looked at the beggars in the city and felt that what Gongzi said was really reasonable, so he followed Gongzi's mind and went to the casino every day.

The master and servant picked up the money and didn't buy anything, but the old servant didn't know why the old saying didn't work? Their luck was getting worse and worse, and the son began to pay debts while gambling, and the old servant panicked, and simply made his own decisions, and spent money to buy the hut without caring whether his luck was good or bad in the future.

Childe is a person who loves cleanliness, when it rains, he can go to the temple with those stinky people who want food, how can Childe stand this, and no matter how Childe blames, the old servant suffers patiently and doesn't say a word.

In the past, when he was in that hut, Childe lost his gambling money, and when he was unhappy, he could beat and scold himself, and when he won the gambling money, he was instructed to buy some fat meat and beat his teeth, and he would give himself a piece of meat when he ate.

When Childe scolded him, it hurt to hurt, but the old servant still wanted to beat himself up when Childe was sad, after all, he was just a bad servant, and he still had to die, and it was better to feel sick than to feel sorry for Childe.

They haven't fought cocks and crickets for a long time, and the old servant thought that Wang Zizhen must be in the gambling stall, he didn't want his son to be unhappy, and now that he has money, he won't play with money to have fun? ”

When the master and servant had little money, they were begging for a living in this city, and they were also looking for some fun, for example, when they were in a bad mood, they would go to the gambling booth and scold Wang Zizhen, and the master and servant felt comfortable, and when the evil slaves of his family were grinding their fists and wiping their itches, the master and servant ran away, and they did not dare to run into the hut, but ran on the contrary, and those fat duns who ate meat every day could not outrun them? Those evil slaves could not catch up, so they rested and gasped, and when they had rested enough, they hugged their shoulders and laughed, laughing until others thought they were insane and did not care.

Yang Zhi has been sullen today, and the old servant thought to himself that this guy is not bored and sick every day, so he immediately proposed: "Then let's go to Chengyun Pavilion!"

Yang Zhi raised his eyelids and asked, "Guy, how old are you, and do you still have this thought?"

If in the past, if Qi'er proposed to go to Chengyun Pavilion, Childe would definitely be very happy, but why is Childe like this today?

Yang Zhi said, "Let's go home." ”

Thinking that he had misheard, he asked, "Ahhhh

"Go home. ”

Unconvinced, he asked, "Hut?"

Yang Zhi nodded.

Qi'er said with a crying voice: "Childe, we haven't been back for more than half a year, and besides, I don't know the way from here!"

Yang Zhi patted the old servant on the shoulder and said, "Actually, the son doesn't know the way, so we won't go back." ”

"I think it's time to sweep the hut, and now it's going back to be dusty, and I won't be able to live at night." ”

The master and servant turned around and entered the street, Yang Zhi didn't look back at the city, and the newly dressed master and servant came out of the imperial city in the city to look particularly eye-catching.

When the master and servant passed by, the shopkeeper of the good deeds leaned against the door with the guests and pointed and said: "These two people are amazing at a glance, especially the young man, the heavenly court is full, the earth is round, his eyes are full of essence, he is not angry and arrogant, like a person who has been in the top position for a long time, but the old man does not look like a big official from the perspective of his dress, he may be the servant of the young man!"

The others immediately retorted: "Nonsense, I once saw Wang Lao Shangshu from a distance in Qingyuzhai, and Lao Shangshu looked like that old man." ”

The little maid also wanted to take a few looks, but they hurriedly wiped the table and came out to take a look, and the two of them were far away, so they had to go back to work honestly.

Du Heli raised his chin and said, "See, this is the future Emperor Daqin, don't you want to curry favor?"

Li Baiyao smiled: "I am not an official again. ”

Brother Lang's eyes rolled and asked, "Gongzi Du, do you think if I buy them two strings of sugar gourds, will the future emperor take care of my son-in-law in the future?"

Du Heli, who had the tea to his mouth, didn't drink the tea, and said, "Buy me a bunch and I'll answer you." ”

Li Baiyao couldn't smile bitterly when he heard Brother Lang's words, but there are so many officials and nobles, just reciting this kind of incense.

Li Baiyao said: "Don't waste your few pennies, it used to be useful, but now you can't use it if you buy a hundred strings." ”

Brother Lang flipped his money bag and said, "This is not a few pennies, son, you can exchange a lot of silver." ”

Du Heli stretched out his hand and said, "Do you want me to help you change it?"

Brother Lang tightened his money bag, "I can change it myself!"

Seeing Brother Lang's movements, that is, he still didn't trust him, Du He left, and muttered, "It's just you, it's not as high as the counter!"

Brother Lang shook his head and retorted: "Du Gongzi underestimated people, when I passed by Qianzhuang last time, I tried it, and if I stood on my heels, I could get to the counter." ”

Du Heli said curiously: "Then why don't you change it?"

Brother Lang patted the money bag and explained: "I prefer copper coins, but the silver is too small, and I am afraid that I will lose them." ”

The people of Ruyang City love to watch the excitement, and no one returns home, they are waiting for the coffin of the Great Pillar Country to be decided!

And the most well-informed is not on the street, but in this noisy wine shop teahouse, Li Baiyao and the three of them also came to the teahouse in Mong Kok early to occupy a place, otherwise they would have to stand and listen to the tea later.

How the situation of the dynasty is changing, how to act step by step, where can these small people understand, but after a big dynasty, which faction wins and which faction loses, this city people still know, competing to argue in the teahouse and wine shop, and winning in this teahouse and wine shop also has face?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have not yet come out of the imperial city, and all kinds of false news have spread all over the streets and alleys of the city.

The scribe in his forties in the teahouse proposed, "Guess what the name of this pillar of parliament is?"

The person sitting at the table was in his fifties, wearing a blue hat and a sparse beard, shaking his green shirt and asking, "What are you betting on?"

The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are a seven-rank capital official who has money to gamble on?"

The old man, who was a seven-rank official in Beijing, replied simply, "No." ”

The scribe said, "Bet on a jar of daughter red in your small courtyard." ”

The old man did not ask the scribe what bet he made, but replied, "No." ”

The scribe asked, "Scared?"

The old man replied, "I'm afraid." ”

The scribe urged: "Coward!"

The old man choked on the tea coughed a few times, and then asked, "How many jars are left after your family's loss?"

The scribe thought to himself that this old man was moved, and said: "Sixteen altars have been buried, and I have won few altars over the years, but I have lost a lot, and I just lost one altar a few days ago, and there are only five altars left." ”

The old man didn't react, and the scribe was anxious and asked, "Do you want to gamble?"

The old man shook his head: "Don't gamble." ”

The scribe asked with an expression of understanding that I understood, "Afraid of the one at home?"

The old man was not embarrassed at all, and said, "A little." ”

The scribe frowned and said, "You're more than a little bit, aren't you?"

The old man took a sip of tea and said impatiently, "I'm very afraid, right?"

The scribe clenched his fists and said: "Since you are afraid, I will settle the tea money later, so that you will not be scolded again when you go back." ”

The old man stretched out his thumb and said, "Righteous enough!"

The scribe just smiled.

There was a loud noise outside the door, and everyone said, "It's coming." ”

hurriedly lying on the window, squeezing the door, only to see that the eunuch on the street on horseback did not rein in his horse, and said loudly: "Su Dazhu has made outstanding achievements in the country, and he is honest and honest in the court." ”

The old storyteller in the teahouse had a change of mind, and began to talk about how the princes of the temple in his heart were in a state of affairs, and how the two parties in the north and south criticized and argued in the court.

......

......

On the twelfth day of the winter month of the twenty-second year of Jingning, the prince of Daqinzhi moved into the palace to live.
