103 times, inch heart holding sleeves in the palm of the hand, Ah Lang is wearing old clothes

Down the mountain is a pair of brothers and sisters, the elder brother is seventeen or eight years old, burly and long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very honest expression, it is He Huogen of Hejia Village at the foot of Miaomen Mountain. My sister He Yougu is ten years old this year, she is much taller than three years ago, her hair is no longer so yellow, and her face is also bloody, and now she is more and more like Qu Yimin.

Mei Zhenyi once gave her a bottle of Shengyuan Dan and told her to take it according to the solar terms, that bottle of Shengyuan Dan was indeed effective, and after taking it for more than a year, He Yougu's body has recovered no different from ordinary people. The parents of the He family thought that their daughter's illness had been cured, and they were naturally very grateful to this "little Taoist priest Lu Yan".

But Mei Zhenyi knew very well in her heart that He Yougu seemed to have recovered, and this was just an appearance. Shengyuan Dan can replenish people's vitality, but it can't cure the root of He Yougu's congenital deficiency, this girl's age is still thirty-seven. So that she can live like a normal person in her lifetime without being tortured by illness, and now Mei Zhenyi can only do so much, even if she is replaced by Sun Simiao, I am afraid she can only be treated like this.

In the past few years, Mei Zhenyi has been very familiar with the brothers and sisters of the He family, and they often meet when they are fine, and the brothers and sisters have never known that he is the eldest young master of the Mei family, otherwise they would not dare to make civilian friends with such a nobleman. Mei Zhenyi taught them a set of five poultry plays that were very similar to Xingyi Boxing, and the brothers and sisters practiced very seriously, but the results were different.

After He Huogen practiced, he was physically strong, and he didn't even breathe when he walked dozens of miles up the mountain, but he was only strong and dexterous, and this person was not a good material for cultivating internal kung fu, let alone stepping into the door of Taoist cultivation. And Aunt He is different from her brother, she just took the one-year Yuan Pill when she practiced, although she did not practice the strength of the inner family, but she faintly had a bit of imperial mana.

This mana is very weak, that is, when practicing boxing, if you are too close and don't pay attention. I can't help but be pushed around by her. He Yougu couldn't feel it at all, but Mei Zhenyi knew it, and he was also surprised. After more than a year, the Shengyuan Pill was exhausted, and He Yougu would not have this weak mana when she practiced again, because there was no external medicinal power to replenish her innate vitality.

It seems that He Yougu is a good seedling for cultivating the Dao Law, but unfortunately the innate furnace is insufficient, and she has no way to cultivate.

Some time ago, because of the Battle of Wuzhou, I had to solve the trouble of Princess Yuzhen. Mei Zhenyi hasn't seen the brother and sister for half a year, and it is estimated that their family has a lot of things, and she has never come to Qi Yunguan to look for him. Now the south of the Yangtze River is peaceful, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the day of the lantern festival in the countryside, and it is also the day of the festival when the major temples and Taoist temples are opened. People in the city generally go to Cuiting Nunnery to burn incense, and the nearby villagers are accustomed to coming to Qiyunguan on this day to make incense.

Although the people of Zhiying Dao live here, in addition to the east cross courtyard and the idlers in the backyard are exempted, the main hall and the west courtyard of Qiyunguan are still welcoming guests. The brother and sister followed the pilgrims up the mountain. He also carried a basket with a clean white cloth on it.

Before they arrived at the door, Mei Zhenyi had already received the news and was standing outside the gate "just right" after changing into a Taoist outfit. He Huogen saw Mei Zhenyi from afar, trotted over and hugged his shoulders and said, "Little Lu Daochang." A while ago, there was a war in Wuzhou, and I also enlisted in the army, and I haven't come to see you for several months, so I've been worried about you. Are you alright?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I'm fine, it turns out that the elder brother of the He family also went to the city to fight, was he injured?" He didn't expect that there was any fire root among the 6,000 people recruited by Mei Yi, and it was normal to not see him at that time, Mei Zhenyi only appeared once in the city, and he still stood beside Princess Yuzhen with armor and faced the outside of the city.

He Huogen patted his chest: "Of course not, the set of kung fu taught me by the Taoist leader is very useful, and the bamboo gun in my hand has knocked over a lot of rebels." When everyone else is tired, I still have the strength...... Later, I wanted to sign up for General Mei Yi's Iron Cavalry, but unfortunately my riding skills were not good, and the General did not choose me. ”

What he said was the truth, the battle of Wuzhou was defended with long bamboo spears under the cover of the crossbow array, the enemy army did not climb the city wall from beginning to end, the casualties of the defenders were very small, and the final decisive battle was fought by the Qingyi River instead of under the city. Mei Zhenyi hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that the elder brother of the He family is also a hero who defends the city, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Mei Zhenyi led them through the west door to a small room in the backyard. There is only one bed, one table, one stool and one box in the room. The furnishings are very simple, and it looks like it should be where "Little Lu Daochang" usually lives. He Yougu put the basket on the table. opened the white sermon and said: "Brother Taoist, these snacks are all made by my mother during the New Year, I will pick the best one for you to bring it, try it quickly." ”

Mei Zhenyi said thank you and ate a few pieces, for ordinary farmers, this dim sum is not bad, but it tastes salty. Mei Zhenyi didn't eat any more after eating a few pieces, wrapped the dim sum with the cloth and said, "Thank you for your mother's kindness, it tastes very good, I'll keep it and eat it slowly." ”

He Yougu looked at the furnishings in the room, and said with some distress: "Brother Taoist, are you living a very hard life?"

This room was uninhabited, Mei Zhenyi was temporarily used to entertain the He family brothers and sisters, and it was inevitably a little shabby, he smiled and said: "Cultivators, don't pay attention to it so much, I don't feel bitter." ”

He Huogen: "Little Lu Daochang, if there is any difficulty, go to Hejia Village to find us, now my brother's family is living a good life, not only did he get a lot of money and grain from the state government a year ago, but my father will become the steward of the grange after the year." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Whose land is the grange, how can you let your father take care of things?"

He Huogen: "It is the Mei family's grange in Yangxian Township, my father has been helping the grange to do work in the past two years, and the steward above sees that my father is honest and capable, and my mother knows more people in the township and knows more things. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Congratulations!"

He Yougu sat beside Mei Zhenyi, pulled his sleeve and said, "My mother said that if you want the Taoist brother to come to our house for a meal in the first month." My mother also said that Xiao Lu Daochang became a monk at a young age, and his family is far away, so there must be no one to take care of him. ”

Mei Zhenyi once told the He family about his life experience, he claimed that he had lost his mother since he was a child, and his father was far away in Guanzhong, and he had a lot of things to worry about every day. sent him to Qiyunguan in Wuzhou. These are all truths, but in the ears of the He family, they feel that this child is too pitiful, and they usually take care of him.

Mei Zhenyi: "Thank you for your kindness, what else did your mother say?"

There is no taboo for He Yougu to speak, and when she heard Daoist Xiao Lu ask, she replied truthfully: "My mother and my father have talked about you together, saying that you practice hard in the Taoist temple, and if you become a real Taoist leader, you can also get thirty acres of official land." There is no problem in marrying in the future if you are thrifty. ”

He Huogen was a little embarrassed: "Sister, why do you say anything?...... Xiao Lu Daochang, I'm sorry, my mother and father are also concerned about you when they talk in private. ”

Mei Zhenyi smiled: "Why are you embarrassed, what you say is all good things." "It seems that even if that He Xiangu is a very knowledgeable person in the countryside, he knows a lot of things.

He Yougu asked again: "Brother Daoist, when will you be able to receive the penalty?"

Mei Zhenyi: "It's almost coming, it's just two years." I'll try my best. ”

When the brothers and sisters said goodbye and left, Mei Zhenyi kept sending them to the foot of the mountain, and He Huogen told him vigorously that he must come to the house for a meal in the first month, and there was one of the fattest old hens that was not killed. Just waiting for him to come to the door. When they broke up, He Yougu took Mei Zhenyi's hand, put something in his palm, and whispered: "Brother Taoist, this is for you." ”

Mei Zhenyi took a look. It was a small piece of broken silver, weighing about three denarii, and he asked in surprise, "Auntie, where did you get all this money, and why did you give it to me?"

He Yougu: "My brother made military merits when he was fighting, and the state government rewarded me with a lot of money and food, and my father and brother gave me a lot of pocket money, which I saved and redeemed." I see that your old robes are all small. I didn't change it for the New Year, so I don't know if it's enough to make two new clothes?...... If I give it to you, you must take it!"

He Huogen also saw this scene, came over and patted Mei Zhenyi's shoulder and said, "Don't shirk, you can accept it, our family's life is fine after the New Year, we should take care of you more." ”

Mei Zhenyi finally accepted it, and after the brother and sister left. He held the small ingot in his hand, and he also crushed the silver with He Yougu's body temperature. I was really moved. Three coins of silver, a little peasant girl like He Yougu can save it. It's not easy. She exchanged the scattered copper coins into silver ingots, and she must have wanted to buy something with her during the New Year, but she temporarily changed her mind and gave it to the "Taoist brother".

He Yougu should have made a temporary decision, and she asked Mei Zhenyi to make two new clothes. The robe that Mei Zhenyi was wearing at this time was indeed a little old, it was the last time I saw the He family brothers and sisters wearing it half a year ago, he was a little taller in the past six months, and this dress was a little small, and it was discovered by the careful He Yougu.

These days are too busy, and when the He family brothers and sisters came, he didn't prepare a new robe to wear to meet guests, and the New Year did look a little shabby.

When I returned to Qiyunguan, I happened to meet Qu Zhensheng, and Qu Guan smiled and said, "Senior brother, the brothers and sisters of the He family have come to see you again?"

Mei Zhenyi handed the ingot of silver to Qu Zhensheng and said, "Is this money enough to make two sets of new Taoist clothes?"

Qu Zhensheng weighed: "Ordinary clothing and cutting handwork, it's enough to make one set, and two sets are a bit reluctant." As for the clothes you wear, they are far from enough, not even a shoe, so let's not talk about the clothes, let's just say that the handiwork of Miss Gu'er and Miss Sui'er is worth a few taels of silver among the people. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "It's not my usual clothes, it's just an ordinary Taoist costume, ask you to do me a favor, get me a set, and add a Taoist robe to the rest of the money." ”

Qu Zhensheng: "Senior brother needs Taoist costumes, do you still need to give me money?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Of course I have to give it, this is what my aunt gave me, let me buy new clothes, and I will use her money to do it according to her wishes." You take the money, I want the clothes urgently, and I will wear them when I go out to other people's houses in two days. ”

Since this is the case, Qu Zhensheng accepted the money and gave him Zhang Luo's robe, and the dignified Master Qu Daguan is really rare to take care of such trivial matters.

Gu'er and Sui'er also heard that the brothers and sisters of the He family were here again, and told Princess Yuzhen about the friendship between the eldest young master and the He family in the study room of the East Cross Courtyard. The eldest young master pretended to be a little Lu Daoist, and Qi Yunguan didn't expose him, it has been three years Yunyun, and what the sisters said is very interesting. They were chatting lively, and Mei Zhenyi came in with the bag of snacks.

Gu Er stepped forward and said, "What did the brothers and sisters of the He family bring you?

Mei Zhenyi put things on the table: "The dim sum that the farmer treats guests during the New Year." ”

Princess Yuzhen was very interested: "Can I taste it?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I just want to invite the princess to taste something fresh, I'm afraid you are the only one here who has never eaten this kind of thing." ...... Just taste two bites, the noodles are mixed with some lard, and if you eat too much, you will get tired, and the taste is too salty. ”

Yuzhen tasted two bites and felt a little novel. It can't be compared with the dim sum I've eaten before, but it's not so bad that I can't eat it, and a few more bites are really as Mei Zhenyi said, a little greasy and too salty. Curious, she asked, "Why do you want to make the dim sum like this?"

Sui'er rushed to the side and said: "Sister Yuzhen, you don't understand, people who do manual work in the farm will not feel tired, but will feel very fragrant! This kind of dim sum is placed on the table to entertain guests during the New Year, and guests can't stop them from eating." If you don't make salty snacks, people will eat them all at once, and the next day won't you have them, right?"

Gu Er continued: "Yes, yes, this is quite delicious, some stingy people, the place on the table is hard and salty, it's just dead!"

"So it's so interesting, a piece of dim sum is still so particular in the folk?" Princess Yuzhen pursed her lips and smiled. In the past, the princess lived in seclusion in Bazhou. Although lonely, the depression mainly comes from the spirit, and in life, she is also a person who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, how can she know this. He now lives in Wuzhou. often chats with Gu Er Sui'er about these novelties that I have never heard of, and my life is getting happier and happier.

After a few laughs, he left a snack and came to the Qiyun platform behind the hospital. Zhong Liquan didn't leave, he was lying there shaking a fan and looking at the sky, his expression was very leisurely. Seeing Mei Zhenyi coming back, he sat up and said with a smile: "Boy, you pretended to be a little Lu Daoshi, both cheating on food and clothing, and you are very popular? Fortunately, the girl is still young, otherwise even people will cheat you." ”

Mei Zhenyi shrugged: "Master, don't make fun of me." If the two brothers and sisters knew who I was, I would not dare to come to the door, where would I have some snacks to eat? ”

Zhong Liquan: "Then you can eat snacks slowly, and don't disturb my old man's sunbath." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "The disciple didn't block the sun, he just wanted to ask a question." ”

Zhong Liquan slapped the fan: "When did you learn to swallow and spit out?"

Mei Zhenyi reached out and touched her ears. His expression was a little twisted: "Master once made a temporary precept for me back then. It's the color ring, and it's very necessary to stand very well. But I want to know. On the second day of the next month, do you want to make a new vow?"

Zhong Liquan interrupted him with a glare: "It turns out that you want to ask this, how old are you, why are you in a hurry!"

"Master misunderstood, it's not that I'm in a hurry, but I have to have a letter, right? This is really not what Mei Zhenyi himself wants to ask, but what Gu'er and Sui'er want to ask in their hearts, but how can they open their mouths, and it is impossible to mention it to Zhong Liquan.

Mei Zhenyi's age is indeed not very old, and in ancient times, it was common for men to marry after reaching the age of twenty crowns, but those two girls were seventeen years old, and they had reached the age of marriage in the Tang Dynasty. When Mei Zhenyi asked this sentence, she also wanted to laugh in her heart, thinking back to the twenty-first century before the time-travel, with their age, they should still be in high school, right?

Zhong Liquan glared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "If you have a great cultivation of real people, I don't need to set up this ring for you, it's useless to stand up or not, what will happen." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Do you mean that only Dacheng Zhenren can break the color ring, no, when my Master Sun Simiao married a wife and had children, he didn't have Dacheng Zhenren cultivation?"

Zhong Liquan: "So you know, you still have to ask me, isn't this nonsense?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Why is it nonsense? We are not talking about Sun Zhenren, we are talking about the precept that you always set up for me." ”

Zhong Liquan: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense, are you worshipping Sun Simiao as a teacher in vain?...... Let's go, don't bother me, I want to bask in the sun, but I also want to sleep in the sun. With that, he lay down again, and put a broken fan over his face.

This reminded Mei Zhenyi, Zhong Liquan didn't tell him, he could go and ask Sun Simiao in the spirit platform! Thinking of this, he hugged his fists and saluted: "The disciple retires, don't disturb the master's rest." ”

He jumped off Qiyuntai and wanted to leave, but Zhong Liquan said again: "On the second day of the first month of next month, you will officially enter the school, please give you Feiyunxiu as a teacher, don't you say hello to Zhiyan in advance?"

"Master, the disciple is about to look for her. I saw a white line flying out of Mei Zhen's sleeve, like a rainbow bridge extending to the opposite side of the cliff, and his body moved along the rainbow bridge to the three mountains of Qingyi, and his posture was extremely chic.
