Du Shenfei, Niu Calf Xian, and Wu Wuzi returned to the Tiger and Wolf Valley together and came to Du Shenfei's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wuwuzi divided the bag of silver into three parts, took one for himself, and gave the other two to Du Shenfei and the calf.
Du Shenfei saw it and said, "Big brother, this is your merit and the reward you deserve." How can the two of us have the ability to make this money? Big brother, this money belongs to you, we don't want it. ā
Wu Wuzi smiled: "Haha! You are really kind, but this calf is not a kind person." ā
The calf said first: "Brother Dao, I told you to play, don't blame me." Take it all!"
Wu Wuzi said: "Hehe, how can you talk without words, you look at my old immortal, will it be such a person?"
Du Shenfei said: "Big brother, I know you're not, but I won't accept it." ā
Du Shenfei refused to accept it at first, and finally divided it into two parts, one for Wuzi and one for Du Shenfei.
At this time, I only heard Shi Luoyi shouting: "Calf, go and call Mr. Xie to come over for dinner." ā
The calf answered first and went.
Outside, in the large meadow, a light rain was still falling.
Everything on the grass is moistened by the rain and looks vibrant.
Because of the rain, I had to eat in the cave. Shi Luoyi had already brought the food to the table, and the plates were spread out and placed neatly. You see, steamed chicken, duck roasted in wine, fish boiled in soup, shredded potatoes with uniform thickness, etc., although they are all home-cooked dishes, they are really beautifully done, red when they should be red, and white when they should be white.
He has no children and is not afraid of meat, and he will not quit drinking.
Because Du Shenfei and Niu Lixian have recently made a lot of money, and they have bought a lot of belongings, and their homes are even more beautiful, they are completely well-off.
In this cave, the four walls are hung with thin light veils, the original stone layer is gone, and a few bamboo hanging baskets are scattered with flowers in full bloom.
In the corner of the wall is a set of chaise longues made of mahogany, with soft mattresses on them, and a high table painted with red paint stands next to it, and in the passage of the four rooms stands a carved rosewood screen. The dining table was placed on the east side of the river, not far from the kitchen, and there were five black lacquered chairs next to the table. Even the kitchen door has two curtains, one inside a bamboo curtain and the other outside a cloth curtain. Sure enough, it is elegant and neat.
Xie Youlong has also come over.
Du Shenfei handed over the two hundred and fifty taels of silver and the five or six pieces of loose money he earned to Shi Luoyi for collection.
Shi Luoyi was taken aback when she saw this lot of silver, and asked Du Shenfei, "Child, where did you get so much money?"
The calf hurriedly replied first: "It's Brother Daochang, take the eldest brother and me to ask for rain, the official gave it." ā
Shi Luoyi scolded with a smile: "You calf can lie, your brother is your old lady who pulls a handful of and urine to his size, when will you have this spell again, will you beg for rain? If you talk nonsense, you are not allowed to eat tonight, and you will prepare a bamboo pole by yourself, and tell you to eat bamboo shoots and fried shredded pork at night." ā
The calf stuck out his tongue first and said, "I still don't eat fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, steamed chicken and soju duck are much more delicious." ā
Du Shenfei also smiled: "Don't tell the old lady that this money is really earned by begging for rain on the rain platform, you see, after the drought for several months, isn't this rain still falling?"
Shi Luoyi and Xie Youlong were both taken aback.
Xie Youlong asked, "Little goldfish, you said that this rain is falling now, you begged for it?"
Du Shenfei smiled: "Yes! It's really the rain I begged for." I came to the stage to ask for rain this time, only thanks to Brother Dao Chang. ā
Shi Luo seemed to believe it or not, and asked Wuwuzi: "Dao Chief, is he telling the truth? wouldn't these two people have done something bad behind their backs outside, but they came to lie in front of me?"
Wu Wuzi laughed and said, "Don't worry! The two of them are very well-behaved, selling ice water by the river, and the business is also very good. I saw the sign posted along the street asking for rain, so I told the two of them to ask for rain. ā
The calf immediately shouted: "Old lady, listen up! Brother Dao Chang will never lie to you, right?"
Shi Luoyi still didn't believe that Du Shenfei would pray for rain.
Du Shenfei didn't really understand what was going on, so he asked Wuwuzi: "Brother Dao Elder, are you really an immortal?"
Wu Wuzi heard this, and laughed: "Little goldfish, what kind of fairy am I!"
Du Shenfei said: "Then how do you know it's going to rain?"
Wu Wuzi said: "Let me tell you the truth! The reason why I know that it is about to rain is because I have a salted fish hanging in my house." ā
The calf was first surprised and said, "Ahh ā
Wu Wuzi laughed and said: "You calf, salted fish can also be a fairy? I have a salted fish in my house, hanging it under the kitchen, as long as the salted fish drips, it will definitely rain in a day or two." The salted fish hung in my house for two or three years, and it was tried and tested. I have seen a lot, and yesterday I saw the fish dripping with water, and I knew that it would rain in a day or two, so I told you to go and ask for rain. Look, it's raining!"
Everyone was very happy to learn that this was the reason.
Shi Luoyi said: "You two are not polite at all, you call Dao Chang and Mr., and you also say 'brother', you used to be young and ignorant, but now you should change your words, you want to call 'Dao Chang' and 'Sir', you know?"
Xie Youlong listened, and said to Shi Luoyi with a smile: "Don't teach them badly, you still call my brother nice and kind." I really can't get used to hearing it. Let me tell you a story!"
As soon as the people heard that there was a story to hear, they immediately pricked up their ears to listen.
Xie Youlong coughed lightly and said, "Back then, Sima Wengong had an old servant who followed him for decades and always called him 'Junshi Xiucai'. One day, Su Dongpo came to the mansion of Duke Wen, and when he heard the servant's name, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he said to the old servant: 'Your master is no longer a showman, he is already the prime minister, you should call him 'Xianggong'!" When the old servant heard that this was the case, when he saw Sima Guang later, he respectfully addressed him as 'Xianggong'. Gong Wen was taken aback and asked the old servant, 'Who taught you to call it that?' and the old servant said happily, "It was Master Xiao Su who taught me." Sima Guang sighed and said, "This old servant of my family is broken by Zizhanjiao." ā
When they heard this, they laughed in unison.
Only the calf didn't laugh first, because he didn't know what Xie Youlong was talking about.
The calf first hung his head and said: "This story is not good at all, but the story of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie told by Brother Dao is good." ā
When they heard this, they laughed again.
Shi Luoyi said: "It's time to eat! If you don't eat again, the dishes will be cold." ā
