Chapter 13 The Mother and Daughter of the Artist
Came to the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, but did not see any festive color, went in to see, there were few people inside, the old man who picked up dung was still there, and said: "Why don't you go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Yihang's heart was sour, and said: "I just came from home, why are the senior brothers not here?" The old man said: "I went home for the holidays, and the first course of this year has ended, and they are not all gone?" After the festival, a new batch of apprentices will come, have you already worshiped the master?" Li Yihang sighed, thinking: "I wonder if Luo Yun will continue to practice here?" Will Senior Brother Kun Zheng come back after the festival?" replied, "No, is Master Huang inside?" Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The old man said: "Early yesterday morning, Master Huang and his wife had taken a carriage and rushed home for the holiday. Li Yihang was disappointed that no acquaintance was there.
He stayed in a small inn, and after a few days, the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall was full of people, but he never saw Liu Kunzheng and Luo Yun, and asked Dewey and the others to know that they would not come back. Li Yihang suddenly asked: "Senior Brother Hong Renhai is from there? Have you ever been to his house?" Wu Xinglong was stunned and said: "What, you are going to look for him? He must not be at home at this time, didn't he go with those three people?" Dewey said: "Hong Renhai is from Jingdezhen, we have never been to his house, I heard him talk about it, his father was a county lieutenant in Fuliang County, what do you want to find him?" Li Yihang said: "Just ask casually, there is no other meaning, senior brothers, the younger brother has offended a lot before, please don't be surprised, say goodbye." ”
Li Yihang did not delay in Nanchang City, and went north on the same day, and said in his heart: "Go to Jiujiang County first, Senior Brother Kun Zheng is from Jiujiang, maybe you can meet him, and then turn east to Fuliang County to inquire about the location of the Hong family." "Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and five days later came to the territory of Jiujiang. The Yangtze River flows through the territory of the Jiujiang waters, and the rivers adjacent to Poyang Lake and Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui provinces converge, and all rivers return to the sea, the water potential is vast, and the river surface is magnificent. Seeing this majestic and majestic scene, Li Yihang said: "The rivers are criss-crossed, and the lakes are everywhere, no wonder it is called Jiujiang, but I don't know which nine rivers these Jiujiang refer to?" and thought: "If you want to meet Senior Brother Kun Zheng in this vast water, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, or it is better to find out Hong Renhai's information as soon as possible." ”
When I arrived in Fuliang County, I asked where the county government was, and I looked for it. Li Yihang was eating in a small restaurant on the side of the street, looked at the yamen diagonally opposite, and asked the shopkeeper: "Don't you know who the county magistrate and the county lieutenant are today?" Seeing that he was a thin young man, the shopkeeper asked: "What, are you here to complain, you came at the right time, the new magistrate and the county lieutenant are fair and strict, and they are as evil as hatred. Li Yihang secretly screamed in his heart, "Bitter!" and asked, "Has Lord Hong, the county lieutenant, also been transferred?" The shopkeeper said: "Do you know Lord Hong Jiangtao? I heard that he has returned to his hometown, and his big mansion in the East Market has also been sold." Li Yihang said: "Lord Hong is returning to his hometown? He is from there, do you know?" The shopkeeper said: "I don't know, we ordinary people, how do we know that the county lieutenant is from there?"
Li Yihang inquired about other people, and the information he got was the same. He secretly thought in his heart: "Dewey said that he is from Jingdezhen, but Jingdezhen is so big, you still have to find out clearly." He came to the East Market and found the original Hong Mansion, only to see the plaque on the top of the door with two gold lacquer characters written "Mifu", and thought: "The new owner of this house may know where Lord Hong's home is in Jingdezhen." ”
After a while, a servant opened the door, poked his head out, and asked, "Little brother, who are you looking for?" Li Yihang said: "I'm looking for my uncle and grandfather." The servant said, "Who is your uncle and grandfather?" Li Yihang said: "Lord Hong is my uncle and grandfather." The man saw that his face was full of dust, his body was thin, and he looked like a country boy, he didn't believe it, and said, "Look up and see what the words are in those two?" Li Yihang glanced up, pretended not to recognize the words, and said: "Isn't this the word 'Hongfu'?" The man smiled: "It turns out that I can't read, no wonder, this is 'Mifu', Lord Hong moved away, and our master's surname is Mi." ”
When Li Yihang heard that it was not the Hong Mansion, he immediately burst into tears and said: "My mother said that her uncle lives here, but why is it not? You lied to me, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" The hawker merchants in the market heard the crying and looked over, and the servant hurriedly said: "Don't cry, don't cry, I didn't lie to you, Lord Hong was transferred to the Tanzhou Mansion in Hunan half a year ago, and if you want to find your uncle and grandfather, you have to go to Hunan to find it." Li Yihang stopped crying and asked, "Is this true? Don't lie to me." The servant said, "What are you lying about? Our lord only came to this ghost place to take over his official position, how can it be fake?"
Li Yihang turned to leave, thinking in his heart: "I don't know who said the truth? Hunan is far from here, and it is not a day's work to find it, Jingdezhen is nearby, it is better to try your luck first, and see if you can find some information." "At this time, it was already dark, and I thought that it would be good to stay for one night and leave tomorrow.
Along the way, no matter where he was, Li Yihang didn't dare to forget to do his homework, and when he was a little relaxed, he thought in his heart: "The enemy's martial arts are so strong, if you don't practice hard, even if you find them, you will lose your life in vain." "Push yourself on with this. He took the lodging in the inn, moved the tables and chairs in the room to the side, vacated a small space, practiced his legs for a while, and then tied up his horse. After a while, I felt that my abdomen was warm, and a cloud of breath rose from the dantian, swimming in the limbs of my body, and everywhere I went, there was no discomfort and abnormality, just like soaking in a hot spring. After half an hour, I put away my horse's steps, and the fatigue of many days was swept away, and my whole body was full of energy, and I only felt that my whole body was comfortable.
On the second day, I arrived at Jingdezhen, the town is not big, but there are many porcelain kilns, firing and producing a kind of green and white porcelain, which is crystal moist and warm like jade. Li Yihang is very interested in porcelain, so he lingers in the porcelain shops in the streets and alleys, only to see all kinds of porcelain with beautiful shapes, a wide variety of varieties, and unique styles, which are really beautiful and beautiful, and blue and white porcelain, exquisite porcelain, pastel porcelain, and colored glazed porcelain are as white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime, only to see him stunned, thinking: "No wonder the emperor of the previous dynasty gave the year name 'Jingde' to this place, and when I have revenge, I will open a store here and be a small boss." ”
I asked everyone if there were any people from the Hong clan who lived in the town, but everyone said, "There is no one with the surname Hong among the people I know." Li Yihang was a little disappointed, and it seemed that the chances of finding Hong Renhai's whereabouts were very slim. I was strolling around, and suddenly I saw a group of people gathered on the street in front of me, which was very lively.
Li Yihang squeezed in to take a look, it turned out to be a mother and daughter performing arts, only to see that the woman was in her thirties, fair complexion, with a piece of colored cloth wrapped around her head, and a set of green cloth dresses on her body, her daughter was about twelve or thirteen years old, with two pigtails, clear eyebrows, and a blue flower dress. I only listened to the woman: "Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, as the saying goes, go out by friends, our mother and daughter went to Nanchang to seek refuge with relatives, passing through here, life is not familiar, entanglement is exhausted, and the little girl will have a little kung fu tricks." Here's a lie. Everyone has money to make money. I don't have any money to hold a personal field!" After speaking, the little girl struck the small gong in her hand, and the little girl said: "Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, the little woman is showing off her skills here, it is really a class axe. The voice was delicate and beautiful, everyone listened to her words, they all clapped their hands and cheered, the girl smiled slightly, made a gesture of raising her hands, and turned somersaults on the spot, only to see that she turned faster and faster, and in a moment it turned more than 20, and the audience cheered loudly, and all applauded. Then, the little girl only used one hand to do somersaults, which was much more difficult than turning with both hands, and Li Yihang couldn't help but shout. The little girl turned to the right after flipping with her left hand, and it took more than 80 flips before stopping.
The crowd was full of applause and thunder. The woman said: "I also came to perform a set of swordsmanship for everyone, so it is not good, please bear with me." "Pick up a sword from the ground and dance. I saw that she had a vigorous posture, neat movements, long sleeves flying, silver flashing, extremely beautiful posture, and she was very good-looking. The crowd erupted in another roar. The little girl took a small porcelain plate, walked to everyone, and said again and again, "Thank you, uncle, aunt, brother and sister!" Li Yihang smiled and encouraged.
The two mothers and daughters then performed several sets of kung fu, which were really wonderful and full of performances. At this time, I could only hear a few people shouting behind me: Go away, go away: go slowly, hit your feet, this is Master Liu's land, why did he set up a stall here to sell and sing without his old man's consent, and there is no Wang Fa?" The two mothers and daughters seem to have seen a lot of this situation, and they know that they can't afford to provoke the head snake, so they quickly pack up their belongings and want to leave.
Several men who drank and scolded people were all tall and big, the first one of them was full of meat, and his hands and feet were black and full of long hair, and when he saw that the woman was very good, his eyes immediately shone brightly, and he made a look at his followers, and a few people on the side understood, and immediately surrounded them, blocking the mother and daughter from going to the road, the woman said: "A few big brothers, why don't you let us go, is there anything wrong?" A man smiled and said: "Big lady, we want to invite you to a meal, don't you know how to appreciate your face?" The woman said: "I'm sorry, you are not enough, get out of the way." After speaking, he wanted to pass between a few people, but a few people smiled and opened their hands, but they just wouldn't let go. The black-haired man grinned and said, "They don't have enough weight, I have enough weight, let's go, accompany me to have a glass of wine." The little girl said, "My mother doesn't drink, we're leaving, get out of the way." The black hair stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's face, and said with a smile: "If you don't drink when you eat, it's not emotional, don't you say?" A few people next to him also laughed lewdly, saying yes again and again.
The little girl was so frightened that she hid behind her mother's back, and shouted: "You bully people, you are a bad person! You are all bad people!" A man laughed and said: "Our eldest brother invited your mother and son to eat and drink, why are you still bad people, that's a big good person!" The woman said angrily: "You dare to flirt with a woman from a good family in broad daylight, who gave you such a big courage?" Another man laughed: "Women are women, but I don't know if it's a good family, so you have to try to know, brothers, are you right?" The words were extremely unbearable, and several people laughed together, and the obscene meaning in the laughter was even stronger. Hei Mao said: "Brothers, we are all Sven people, don't frighten this little lady who is like a flower, you see, this little girl is about to cry, quickly say sorry to others, if people are angry, you are the only one who asks." The other man said with a smile, "Oh, that's right, this little girl looks really a little beauty!" and reached out to touch her cheek as he spoke.
