Chapter 344: Orientation
On the road, Yue Buqun found a carriage for Xie Youniang, put on a Dawan good horse, and let Xie Youniang sit in it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info personally set up a car for Xie Youniang and asked, "How about I send you back to Yuyao Dongshan Xie Mansion first?"
Xie Youniang shook her head and shouted: "No, I still have to go to Master Qin, if I don't see his safety for a day, I won't be at ease for a day." β
Yue Buqun frowned, remembering that when he was treating his injuries, he seemed to have promised her, and it was inconvenient to persuade her to go back at this time, so he asked: "It's just that there is a vast sea of people, but I don't know how to find it?"
Xie Youniang thought for a while and said, "I once persuaded Master Qin to go to Yuyao Xie Mansion to avoid it, but I don't know ......."
Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "No, I've been to Xie Mansion once, but I haven't seen them." β
Xie Youniang said again: "Maybe they were also seriously injured that day, maybe they went to Kaifeng City to find some famous doctor for treatment." β
"What kind of famous doctor? You are talking about the 'famous murderous doctor' Ping Yizhi in Kaifeng City, he has already ......" Yue Buqun suddenly thought that Ping Yizhi could not cure Ling Hu Chong's terminal illness, so he got into a dead end and couldn't get out, and died of heart failure on the Wuba Gang. Later, the news that Ren Yingying used corpse water to melt the bones of the corpse did not seem to spread.
Even the news that Ping Yizhi is dead has only spread in a small area, not the world.
Huang Zhonggong and others have been trapped in West Lake for many years, and the news is closed, so they may not be able to know about it.
If they hadn't died and had not been captured, they might have gone to Kaifeng City. Because Kaifeng is not far from the Shaolin Temple, you can also go to the old Shaolin Temple to take refuge, and have the face of the monk, or you can escape the undefeated punishment of the East and let me go.
Yue Buqun was shocked again, he wanted to go to Shaolin Temple?
Oh, Ling Hu Chong is afraid that he has already gotten the news, and he is about to go to Hubei to gather all the evil in the rivers and lakes to go to Shaolin Temple. I will rush to Kaifeng or Shaolin, this is not back to the old road. That's not good.
But if you don't go to Shaolin, where will you go? Yue Buqun thought about it, but he didn't think of any good place to go.
Yue Buqun didn't want to go to Kaifeng, let alone Shaolin, so he said: "Such an obvious thing, how can that big villain not guess if he lets me do it, Huang Zhonggong and others are old in the rivers and lakes, and they will not act according to common sense." Maybe they didn't go to Kaifeng to seek medical treatment. β
Xie Youniang asked confusedly, "Then where do you say you want to find it?"
Yue Buqun sighed to himself: Yes, where are you going to find it? I just came from Fujian in the south, Xie Youniang doesn't want to go back to Xie Mansion in the southeast, Jiaxing to the sea in the east, Huangshan in the southwest, Hubei where thousands of evil groups gather in the west, Kaifeng and Shaolin in the northwest, and the demon sect army in the north. It seems that there is nowhere to go in all directions.
The hexagram has a saying, if you want to go with the flow, how will this be natural and obedient?
Yue Buqun took out the long sword, threw it casually, and said in his heart: No matter what, the tip of the sword will go wherever it goes, everything is according to God's will, and it is natural to go with the flow.
With a bang, the long sword fell to the ground, and the tip of the sword was facing the northwest.
Yue Buqun was sluggish, and it seemed that every time he left it to God to make a decision, he would point to the northwest. This time I was completely speechless.
Yue Buqun put away his long sword and said, "Then let's head northwest." β
Xie Youniang looked at Yue Buqun suspiciously, aren't Kaifeng and Shaolin in the northwest?
It's just that Xie Youniang herself has no other opinions, so it's better to go to the northwest than to blindly look for it.
Yue Buqun drove the carriage and turned northwest again. The carriage swayed slowly, not very fast. It was not until noon on the second day that they arrived in Yixing, Jiangsu.
Yue Buqun found a good small restaurant in a small village outside Yixing to rest and prepare for lunch.
Yue Buqun and Xie Youniang have always been happy, and they didn't want to stop in this small village. However, Xie Youniang's injuries had not healed, and she couldn't bear the pain of the long journey, so she had to stop and go. Seeing that this small restaurant was quite clean, I stopped to rest for a while.
The small restaurant is not big, the adobe house is only painted with a layer of white ash, and it suddenly looks a lot brighter.
There were only eight small tables in the lobby, and there were no guests, except for an old man in gray with a goatee.
Seeing that a passenger got off the bus and came, he stepped forward to receive him with a smile. After calling twice, a simple young farmer of about thirty years came out of the small mud house on the side, grabbed the horse, and led it aside to feed.
"The two guest officers have worked hard all the way, please, please, please come in and rest for a while and have some tea. β
After Yue Buqun and Xie Youniang sat down with a frown on the table in the middle of the hall.
The old man immediately sent a large pot of hot water and a jar of good tea, and while taking the tea to brew it, he said with a smile on his face: "Two guest officers, don't look at the small shop, but the things in our store are not bad." You see, this is this year's new West Lake Longjing tea, Xiao Lao'er's son-in-law is doing tea shop trading on the edge of the West Lake, so the little old man is near the water and the first month, every year my son-in-law prepares ten catties of good tea for Xiao Lao'er to receive guests. β
He pointed to the teapot and said: "And this is the ancient gold teapot made by Elder Puguang of our Yixing Jinsha Temple, and this is just a private teapot made by Elder Puguang for his own use on weekdays." However, the little old man's eyes were sharp, and he saw that this teapot was as dark as an ancient golden iron. The quality is exquisite and luxurious, no worse than the high-grade porcelain pot in Jingdezhen. So he offered twenty taels of silver for incense money, and then asked for ten tea utensils from Elder Puguang. Guest, what do you think of this tea vessel?"
Yue Buqun was stunned, isn't this a purple sand teapot? Why is it called an ancient gold teapot? It may be the name of the locals. However, it has been more than 20 years since I came to this world, and it seems that I have never seen a purple sand teapot.
When Xie Youniang saw it, she liked it and asked, "How is this ancient gold teapot made, is it the same as porcelain?"
The old man said with a smile: "Elder Na Puguang once said that the fine soil used to make the pottery jar and pottery urn is clarified, kneaded and built into a tire, and the rules are rounded, and the hollow is made into a pot like a pot, covered with ashes and cast and burned, and the finished product is finished. β
Yue Buqun remembered that this purple sand teapot began to slowly become popular during the Zhengde period, and it may not be famous now, so it is temporarily called Gujin teapot.
However, the purple sand teapot is very collectible in later generations, and the future generations themselves have no money to get such a good thing, so they smiled at Xie Youniang: "This pot can be called the purple sand gold pot, which has many advantages for making tea." This pot has good air permeability, brewing tea without losing the original flavor, and has the characteristics of staying more and more in summer. It does not take away the aroma of tea and does not have the smell of cooked soup, so it is used to make tea and the fragrance is contained. After using it for a period of time, it can also increase the accumulation of "tea rust", so the empty pot is filled with boiling water and has a tea fragrance. If you don't use it for a long time, it will inevitably smell peculiar smell, you can use boiling water to blanch it two or three times, then pour off the cold water, and then brew the original flavor of Ming tea. β
"Especially in the cold winter wax moon, pour boiling water, do not swell and crack due to the sudden change in temperature, and in winter, put it on a warm fire to boil tea, the pot is not easy to burst. And no matter how you lift it, it won't be hot. At that time, Su Dongpo used purple sand pottery to cook tea, and there was a poem of 'pine wind bamboo stove, lifting the pot and calling each other', which was no accident. I remember that Xie Muzhai likes to drink tea very much, and if the young lady likes it, she might as well bring a set of purple sand gold pots back to your eldest brother. β
"Good. Xie Youniang said happily: "Shopkeeper, have you ever used the purple sand gold tea vessel, how about Miss Ben buy two sets of you." β
The old man looked distressed, sucked his teeth and shook his head softly.
Yue Buqun smiled and said: "Your shopkeeper is so unhappy, and he doesn't want you for nothing, but pays to buy you, why do you have such an expression?"
The old man explained: "Ah, guest officer, it's not that the little old man is stingy, but that this ancient gold teapot was made by Elder Puguang himself for the little old man. There are only ten sets in total, which are used by Xiao Laoer to decorate the faΓ§ade. Unfortunately, Elder Puguang just passed away a month ago, and there is no one to inherit his craft. β
Yue Buqun said with a smile: "It's not stingy, you have a total of ten sets, even if you have two sets and eight sets, how can this not work? β
The old man gasped, suddenly smiled, and said, "This, this, this is what you said yourself, but it's not that I'm greedy." β
Yue Buqun smiled: "Yes, yes, I asked for a high price to get it, it doesn't matter whether your old man's heart is good or bad." β
The old man said yes again and again, and said, "Okay, little old man will prepare wine and food for the guest officer first, and then he will go home and get it for the guest officer." After saying that, he happily ran to the backyard to get busy.
Xie Youniang couldn't help but snort lightly and said, "Young Master Yue is very bold, and he only buys a pair of teapots for a hundred taels of silver." It's a bit ......."
Yue Buqun asked, "What is it?"
"It's the high price of goods, and what idioms are used indiscriminately. Xie Youniang glanced at Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun smiled: "As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if it's worth the money or it's worthless." If you don't like it, even if it's a priceless treasure in front of people, and it's hard to find, I'll disdain it. β
Xie Youniang asked, "Oh, Young Master Yue's behavior has always been based on personal preferences?"
Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "No, it's only limited to goods that are commonly liked, and they can be purchased with money." If it is something else that money can't buy, you can ask for it, and if you can't ask for it, you can only regret it. I won't force it. β
Xie Youniang asked, "Then don't you feel that you have lifelong regrets?"
Yue Buqun pondered for a while before saying, "Maybe, but how can there be perfect people in the world, and there will always be some defects and regrets in the world." If you pursue perfection in everything, it won't be too tiring to be a human being. Personally, I think that the beauty of the incomplete is more exciting and nostalgic than the complete beauty.
