"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. ”

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the weather is extremely cold, and at noon, the clouds are thick, and it will not be long before the goose feathers and snow fall all over the sky.

It's snowing.

The Ye brothers and sisters in new cotton clothes were sitting in the room eating dumplings, and there were only the two of them, and the atmosphere seemed cold. Since the family is in tatters, relatives have rarely interacted with each other.

It's okay this way, it's more comfortable, for Ye Junsheng, he would rather talk to the Great Sage than face relatives and friends who are snobbish.

After eating dumplings, a guest suddenly visited, and when I went out, I saw that Jiang Zhinian came.

"Grandpa Jiang, you're here!"

Jiang Zhinian smiled heartily: "Junsheng, are you not welcome?"

"Why? Please come in and sit down. ”

Jiang Zhinian motioned to his entourage to put down the gifts, and he sat down unceremoniously: "Jun Sheng, the old man is straight to the point, this time, one is to pay New Year's greetings, and the other is to invite you to participate in this year's New Year poetry meeting." ”

Ye Junsheng was stunned: "New Year Poetry Meeting?"

Searching for memory, I have some impressions of such a poetry meeting: the Tianhua Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and now the four seas are leveling, the literary style is prosperous, and every festival, there are many literary poetry meetings held in various places. Especially in the south of the Yangtze River, every year during the Lantern Festival, Tanabata, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival, a grand poetry meeting will be held regularly.

The poetry meeting is a grand festival of literati and scholars, during which there are Qinglou Oiran and ladies come out to enjoy and help, and add a lot of bright colors. Inadvertently, it will also cultivate a popular encounter story.

It's just that Pengcheng County is located in the north and is a small county seat, so it can't organize a decent poetry club. The so-called "New Year Poetry Club" was organized by Dao'an Mansion, so it is also called "Dao'an Poetry Club".

The old man has received an invitation, but the Jiang family has always been in business, and they don't know much about the articles and songs, so they specially invited you to participate, thinking that they would be overwhelming. ”

Tongjiang is a big river that runs through the Jizhou region, belongs to a branch of the Yellow River, with turbulent waves and extraordinary momentum.

Facing Jiang Zhinian's eager gaze, Ye Junsheng groaned slightly, and agreed - participating in the poetry meeting is likely to be a good opportunity for many talented scholars to emerge and become a blockbuster, many people are vying to go, since Jiang Zhinian came to invite, he doesn't have to be hypocritical. It's a good thing to take a trip and open your eyes.

Jiang Zhinian was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Very good." Well, the poetry will officially start on the eighth day of the new year, and we will set off on the sixth day of the new year, and then we will send a carriage to pick you up, if you like it, let's go together. ”

Ye Junmei looked at his brother.

Ye Junsheng smiled slightly: "Then let's go together, I don't worry about leaving you at home alone." ”

Ye Junmei suddenly remembered something: "But what about the Great Sage?"

Ye Junsheng frowned, and said slowly: "There will be a way to settle it." ”

Jiang Zhinian asked, "Who is the Great Sage?"

Ye Junmei replied: "It's our domestic cow." ”

Jiang Zhinian suddenly realized, remembered some rumors, and immediately cried and laughed: "I see, I ......see" paused for a moment, and said seriously: "Junsheng, I didn't say you, as a scholar, you have no land at home, why do you raise a cow at home, do you want to fatten it up and sell it for a high price?"

"Moo!"

There was a chirp in the yard, and the cow's ears were very sensitive.

Ye Junsheng hurriedly said: "Grandpa Jiang doesn't know, this cow has a life-saving grace for our brothers and sisters, although it is a domestic animal, but it must be reported, so it is kept at home and raised for a long time." ”

Jiang Zhinian was dumbfounded, giving a cow to support the elderly, what is the matter. It's not good to say much at the moment, Ye Junsheng is an idiot, although he has opened his mind, he will inevitably leave some nerds. In fact, this is also a common problem for many people who have read too much, I heard that there is a great Confucian, who calls himself "plum wife and crane", which means that planting plum blossoms as wives and raising cranes as sons, is high and comfortable, but it is not something that ordinary people can understand.

In contrast, in order to repay his kindness, Ye Junsheng gave the cow a pension, which is not a deviance.

After some more gossip, Jiang Zhinian said goodbye and left.

"Brother, if we all go, the Great Sage will have no one to take care of it, or I won't go. ”

Ye Junmei made a suggestion.

This problem is really difficult to deal with, and when you participate in a poetry meeting, you can't ride a bull to go, which is too ostentatious.

Ye Junsheng pondered for a moment: "Don't be busy deciding, I will think of a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

After speaking, he took a plate of meat and a dime of wine to the great sage.

People celebrate the New Year, and the great sage also celebrates the New Year, and the diet jumps to a new level.

......

The street market for the Chinese New Year is bustling and very lively, on both sides of the street, full of New Year's goods, many children chasing and laughing, holding rock sugar gourds, or marshmallow popcorn and the like, while running, while sprinkling crisp laughter.

Haitianlou, Zhou Lanshan sat by the window, the table was full of delicacies, but he had no appetite, looking at the prosperous scene downstairs, he was upset for no reason:

"It's been out for two months, but I still haven't found out that the day before yesterday, the master passed the book, and there are many punishments, which is really boring. ”

After drinking a glass of wine, his eyes couldn't hide his anxiety: "Shizun said that the other party is a fox spirit, and she was seriously injured many years ago, so she lived in seclusion in the country market, but if she doesn't show her whereabouts, how can I find out? ”

"Fortunately, the master is open-minded, and he gave me a talisman to allow me to perform the secret method, well, I will find a suitable place, and the method can be searched, and the existence of demons within a radius of hundreds of miles can be searched. In this case, as long as the other party remains here, it will inevitably be difficult to escape justice. ”

Rusi thought about it, and he already had an idea: by the way, there is a Duyun Peak in the northern suburbs of the county, the mountain is straight, and it is suitable for practice, so choose there.

When he had a place to go, he stopped eating or drinking, threw down a piece of silver, went straight downstairs, and strode out of the city.

About an hour or more, I went to the bottom of Duyun Peak, looked up, and saw that this mountain was beautiful and beautiful, although it was not a famous mountain and river, but there was also some climate. At this moment, the bell rings on the mountain again, and it is passed down slowly, which makes people feel refreshed.

Zhou Lanshan laughed, no longer hesitated, walked like flying, and went up the mountain. After a while, I came to the outside of Duyun Temple. As a Taoist, he appeared in the place of Buddhism, which naturally attracted a lot of incense.

If there is no one next to the chaotic mountain, he will go straight into the temple.

"Where did you come from, you are so rude, how can you trespass into places?"

In the temple, there were immediately hidden monks who saw it and hurried to drive it away.

Since ancient times, they have different interpretations and believe in each other, so they can be said to be competitors. At present, there are Taoists who come uninvited and swagger through the mountain gate, which is tantamount to smashing the field.

Zhou Lanshan smiled: "Where is the host of your family, ask him to come out to see me." ”

It's not polite, and the shelves are very large.

The monk's face was extremely ugly, and he shouted: "You wild Taoist priest, Hugh has to sprinkle here." "Rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a pair of big hands, and wanted to take this Taoist priest out.

Although he is a monk, he also practices martial arts, and Meng De presided over the teaching of Master Kong, learned a hand of "Tiger Claw Hand" kung fu, and practiced a little hot. Dealing with ordinary people is like a tiger catching a sheep, and his hands are caught.

"Oops!"

This monk was thinking about how much strength he should use, so that he could grasp the proportion, but when he saw the sleeve of the Taoist robe flicked slightly, he suddenly felt a strong force on his body, and he fell to the ground involuntarily, rolling up three times, and then cut off the strange force.

Zhou Lanshan sneered: "Why don't you go and ask your host to come out?"

Knowing that the monk knew that he had met a master, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly entered and told Master Kong.
