Chapter 10: Elder Chapter Luzhu
The scholar, the follower of the ancient scholar, helps the scholar tidy up the room, helps the scholar tidy up the book, pen and ink, etc. also accompanies the study, and is also a person who takes care of the daily life of the scholars.
The invisible scholar of the water, there are two people in total, that is, me and Xiaodoubao. And Xiaodoubao belongs to the type of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he always shows a submissive look, which makes the water invisible and disliked.
Shui Wuxian doesn't like him, and he never takes him with him when he goes out, so in the Four Seas Gang, many people only know that there is an extra scholar next to the gang leader, and that person is me.
As a scholar, I am very unqualified, I can't grind, I can't read ancient books written in traditional characters, and I can't dance and ink. Whenever the leader of the water gang looked at me with a "what do you see" expression after writing a few words, I was very distressed, the ink in my buddy's stomach was limited, and I really couldn't play this kind of difficult literary appreciation activity.
When I was speechless, and my mind kept recalling the passionate explanation of the Chinese teacher's eyebrows and spittle in the middle school literature and calligraphy appreciation class, Shui Wuxian was already a little angry. He ignored me either, but instructed Xiaodoubao: "Go and find Yingxiang." ”
Xiaodoubao gave me a sympathetic look, and then Shi Shiran left.
But after a while, Xiaodoubao followed a slim and delicate little girl walked in, and the little girl said to the water: "The young master changes slaves and I don't know what to order?"
Shui invisibly glanced at me, handed the ink on the table to the little girl Yingxiang, and said, "Let's see how I write this word today?"
Ying Xiang took the words, looked at them for a moment, and then muttered: "The young master's glyphs are leaning on the staggered, if they are flying, the outside is tight and the inside is loose, and the pen is strong, but there is also a bit of Yan Qingchen's demeanor." ”
"How is it compared to Shen Xie, a talented man in Qingzhou?"
Ying Xiang lowered her head, thought for a moment, bit her lip and replied, "Slightly inferior." ”
Shui Wuxian didn't care, as if expected, he took the scroll in Yingxiang's hand, tore it with both hands, and said lightly: "It's better to be sure." ”
"Why do you have to mind the young master, the way of calligraphy is not a matter of day and night. I think that Shen Xie has been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and he is diligent in practicing every day, and the young master has only been practicing calligraphy for five years, so it is not as good as a common thing. Ying Xiangwen said in a crepe manner, and then changed her voice: "The young master's strength lies in the poetry, and the maid thinks that the young master's poetry is not much better than Shen Xie." ”
Hearing Ying Xiang say this, Shui nodded invisibly: "Ying Xiang's words are not bad, today I will go to meet that Qingzhou talent." Yingxiang, who else is there, follow me to Luohua Tower. ”
I'll go, who is that talking about, is there any politeness, anyway, I'm also your scholar, your maid's helper and young master, I can't even remember my own scholar's name, I'm really ashamed of you.
"Where is this going?"
Yingxiang and I followed Shui Wuwu and just walked to the gate, but we were stopped by the rickety old man. Shui frowned invisibly, and said with a little unhappiness: "What is the matter with Mr. Zhang?"
"The gang leader lingers all day long, and he ignores the affairs of the gang, how can he be worthy of the old gang leader's spirit in the sky?"
The little old man who came over was called Zhang Luzhu, an elder of the Four Seas Gang. Seeing that he was emaciated and haggard, with some deep wrinkles on his neck and some brown spots on his cheeks, he looked like he was dying soon, but he spoke with a solid heart.
"Gang leader?" Shui Wuxian sneered, pointed to the plaque on the gate and said: "This is Shuifu, but it is not the Four Seas Gang, I am the young master of Shuifu, but I am not the leader of the Jianghu gang." ”
I looked up at the plaque at the gate, and sure enough, I saw that the word "Shuifu" was written in a regular manner, which was really strange, isn't this the Four Seas Gang, how did it become Shuifu, is it selling dog meat with a sheep's head?
"The helper's words are wrong," the old man Zhang said unrelentingly: "Shuifu is the Four Seas Gang, the Four Seas Gang is Shuifu, Zhang is entrusted by the old gang leader on his deathbed, assisting the helper, dreaming of sleeping at night, trembling, not daring to have the slightest difference, and the helper's words today, but he did not regard himself as a member of the Four Seas Gang, which makes Zhang Mou deal with himself, and what is the face of the old gang leader after death, chilling, chilling. ”
As the old guy spoke, he began to snot and tears, miserable and miserable, I really didn't see that this old immortal was still a very powerful acting school.
"What does Mr. Zhang have to say?" Although Shui Wuwu's face was still displeased, Zhang Luzhu's words were affectionate, and it was not easy to attack, so he had to endure it.
"Please help the Lord gather in the Hall of Righteousness!" Old Man Zhang instantly suppressed his tears and stepped forward to make a gesture of please. This old guy is free to act, I really doubt that his withered yellow eyes are two tap taps, let them go when they say they are released, and turn them off when they say they are closed. Admire, really admire.
Shui Wuxian flicked his sleeves and walked towards the door angrily, and the two of us villains had to follow in, while Old Man Zhang followed behind, holding his beard and smiling.
In the Four Seas Gang, on the Juyi Hall, the water sits on it invisibly, and Yingxiang and I stand on both sides like two generals. Old man Zhang sat on the left, looking at the water invisibly with a pleasant face.
"The gang leader has never asked about the things in the gang, and it is inconvenient for the old man to accuse the gang leader, but I hope that the gang leader will lead by example in the future and not fall into the wisdom of the old gang leader. Zhang Luzhu paused, and then said: "There is a matter here that needs to be decided by the master. ”
The water was noncommittal, his face was full of the word unhappy, and he said sarcastically: "Didn't the elders decide the big and small affairs of the gang before?"
"Don't dare," Zhang Luzhu bent down to make a respectful gesture, but he was not humble or arrogant and said: "The gang leader has always been the leader of a gang, and Zhang Mou had to do it as a last resort before. ”
"Elder, please. Zhang Luzhu's words, the water seemed to listen to it a little, and his face was not as ugly as before.
"Four days later, it will be the Huaiyi Hall in the west of the city, the Shen family in the east of the city, and my Four Seas Gang about the redivision of the territory in the south of the city, I don't know what the gang leader's decision is?"
"What should I do according to the elder?" Shui Wufu seemed to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn't seem to know anything about this three-gang competition.
"Previously, the ownership of the site in the south of the city was divided by the other two families five years ago when the old gang leader was alive. In recent years, although there has been constant friction between the three factions in the south of the city, they have also been peaceful. But last month, Huaiyitang attacked the Shen family one after another, demanding that the site be redivided. Previously, I argued many times with the head of Huaiyi Hall, Xi Kunlun, and Shen Weiyan of the Shen family, and finally decided to divide it by competition. Zhang Luzhu was very dissatisfied with his words, and the negotiation process with the two shili was quite difficult.
"The matter of the competition, the elder can arrange it confidently. As soon as he heard the competition, Shui Yin frowned, it seemed that this guy was very disgusted with fighting and killing.
Could it be that this guy doesn't know martial arts? Isn't it, the lord of the dignified gang doesn't know martial arts, he is really a second ancestor, the second generation of chivalry, I can't help but doubt it.
"But the helper doesn't know," Zhang Luzhu was a little dissatisfied with the invisible reaction of the water, and his face was disappointed. Having said so much, you still have to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and whoever you change will be unhappy.
"The basis for dividing the territory by competition is that there are a total of eight competitions to determine the ownership of the eight squares in the south of the city. Now, it is unknown whether our gang will be able to keep all the previous three squares. Zhang Luzhu sighed, looking very anxious.
"How can this be?" the second generation of Xia Shui was invisible, and when he heard that he couldn't even keep his original territory, he was finally a little moved.
"Their fight, in addition to martial arts," Old Man Zhang shook his head and sighed again, and it took a long time before he continued: "There is also Wen Dou." ”
What does this mean, the gangs in the rivers and lakes are fighting for territory and engaging in cultural fights, whether the cultural environment of the Tang Dynasty is too good, or the ancient underworld is idle. Let a group of reckless people who only fight and kill all day long, fight and fight ruthlessly, are you sure you are not joking?
I looked at Zhang Luzhu with wide eyes, Yingxiang's little girl's small mouth opened into an "O" shape, but the water gang leader grinned.
