Chapter 22: Looking Back

Pei Runfei sensed from the expressions of her grandmother and mother that they had misunderstood.

Hurriedly said: "Grandmother, just five days ago, didn't Zen Master Huixing of the White Horse Temple give me an order?

Gao Shiqi said: "Grandmother hasn't forgotten, but what does it have to do with you?"

Pei Runfei said quietly: "The master said at the time that I only paid the debts of the previous life in this life, and I don't blame others. Looking back, I was only passing by, a wisp of vitality and a thought. ”

Gao muttered: "Zen Master Huixing once said that the happiness of your life is only fleeting in the future. Could it be that Li Changji is the one you look back at?"

Pei Runfei nodded heavily, and said, "Yesterday, at the moment when the sedan curtain was opened, I looked back casually. I saw a person in a green shirt in the crowd, which was very eye-catching. Zen Master Huixing's words suddenly echoed in my heart. Thus... At the beginning of yesterday afternoon, I asked someone to follow him and inquire about his origins. At this, his face turned crimson again.

Mother Liu was also stunned, and said to herself: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world." You just sent someone to inquire, and your grandfather asked Lord Han to protect the media for you. ”

Could it be that they are really destined? My dignified daughter really has to marry a poor sour to continue the string. Liu's heart at the moment was as uncomfortable as if he had been scraped by a knife. She is not like her daughter, she is full of tenderness, and she is only unwilling and helpless in her heart. The daughter's words made Liu's heart even colder.

"Grandmother, mother, you haven't seen him. His eyes are clear and bright. Whatever you think in your heart, he can see through it at a glance. He also said something very similar to that of Zen Master Hui Xing. Let Runfei not feel sorry for herself. Not surprising. ”

Grandmother Gao sighed: "Maybe Li Changji is really your fate, I said how can the dead old man be so persistent." ”

"But, but Li Changji said that he would not consider lifelong matters within three years. Let Runfei find another good fate, don't waste your youth on him. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Runfei's face collapsed again, and she wanted to cry.

"Ahh

The Duchess has subconsciously approved of this family business. Immediately worried about the future of his granddaughter.

Liu secretly rejoiced: There is still no fate, it is better to stop there.

Just as he was about to persuade him, he heard his mother-in-law instruct the maid loudly: "Amber, go and invite the grandfather and the eldest master to come over." ”

Liu Shi suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mother, are you really serious? Since people have no intention of getting married, why are we still in a hurry?"

Gao Shi muttered: "This matter is very strange. I still know your father-in-law's eyes when he looks at people. And this Li Changji is on Fei'er's life, don't miss it at will. Fei'er's marriage can no longer withstand the torment. We are all mothers, and the lifelong happiness of our daughter's family is the most important thing after all. As for the rest... Hey, it's all up to fate! Now this matter, my mother doesn't dare to be self-conscious, and let's see what their grandfathers say!"

Pei Fu was worried about Li He's affairs, and the main people in the family gathered in the main hall of the inner house to discuss. Li He got up unusually comfortably, and dozed off in the car.

Shen Yazhi was helpless, so he had to hold the book and study by himself. Lu Hualong was in the field and had already caught two pheasants and a hare. As the official road gradually enters the mountainous area, there is no room for galloping. Lu Hualong himself was tired, and jumped into the car with the hare he caught after the most clumsy.

Shen Yazhi's scholar Qingyan is also still childlike. When Lu Hualong was galloping and hunting in the field, he leaned on the car window and watched with envy. This will be even more cherished by the hare caught by Lu Hualong.

The coachman reminded the people in the car in front: "After turning over the mountain in front, you will go out of the Luoyang boundary and enter Xin'an." Are we going to Xin'an for lunch? Or are we going to burn the wild things that this little brother has caught and eat them on the way?"

Where are we going to barbecue wild things? Shen Yazhi was about to speak.

Li He, who had been squinting his eyes, said: "Go to the front and find an open place near the water, and burn it yourself to eat." You don't have to go into the store to sharpen. ”

The driver was a veteran in his thirties and was familiar with the road. Immediately agreed. The official roads in the mountains are all built along the river, and it is very easy to find a place that Li He requested. Towards noon, the coachman parked the carriage in a place where water and grass were abundant.

People on the bus got out of the car one after another, or went to the river to wash their hands and faces, or found a convenient place. The coachman also let go of the reins of the horses that had pulled the cart, and let the two horses, who had been running all morning, eat grass and drink water. Li He quickly took the prey caught by Lu Hualong to the river, and used the knife he carried with him to peel the skin and remove the belly. He also instructed Shen Yazhi's entourage Changgui to go to the river to collect firewood and make a fire.

The coachman was often away from home, and the salt spice was carried with him. Seeing that Li He, a scholar, was quite skillful in doing these jobs, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Seeing him set up a bonfire to roast pheasants and hares, he was even more amazed than himself.

While helping Li He add firewood under the fire frame, he said with a smile: "The villain Su Wulang has been driving for so many years, and he can be regarded as having seen the world. But I haven't met a reader like you. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li He, who was seriously flipping the barbecue in his hand. saw that he was wearing an old cloth and green robe, and the crown on his head was only pinned with a wooden hairpin. Zhou is up and down, although it is elegant and refined, but it is also extremely simple. I can't help but know in my heart.

It seems that the family is poor, and he does everything by himself. can't compare to those scholars and scholars with superior family backgrounds. Everyone is poor, and Su Wulang has a sense of sympathy in his heart. Li He's address and affection to him made him even closer.

"Brother Su, have you been driving for twelve years?" asked Li He.

"Yes, how does Childe know that Lu Dao is so clear?" Su Wulang said strangely.

"Your mother is in poor health, and you are quite hesitant about this errand. It's because you're still hesitant this morning, so you're a little late. Li He said slowly, and looked at Su Golang.

Seeing that his face was extremely surprised, he said solemnly: "There is one thing in the world that I can't wait for, and that is filial piety." If you finish this errand, I'm afraid you won't be able to see your mother again. ”

Ahh If it's true...

Su Wulang didn't dare to think deeply, Huo Ran stood up, trembling all over. Seeing the sympathy in Li He's clear eyes, Su Golang, who had no master of the six gods, knelt down abruptly at Li He.

"Childe, are you an immortal, can you teach me how to do it. ”

Su Goro's eyes were already full of tears, and his tone was sad.

"Tell me about your mother's symptoms. I'll prescribe a prescription with you, and you quickly go back and grab the medicine and take it. Maybe it can extend the life span by five years. ”

Without the slightest doubt or hesitation, Su Goro told his mother's illness upside down.

Shen Yazhi, who came back from a walk by the river, saw the coachman kneeling in front of Li He, and told something with tears in his eyes. Hurriedly walked over, and only listened to a few words to understand the reason.

reprimanded Li He: "Changji, what did the teacher say? At the moment of the imperial examination, why don't you know how to choose between the ways and the road, and you are still practicing medicine." We are already on the road now, and what if he knows the way? I have already given him an extra three taels of silver yesterday for the car. Just ask his family at home to ask for a doctor's medicine. ”

Li He was still roasting and eating in his hands, but he said solemnly: "Changji just doesn't want Brother Su to leave a lifelong regret because of Brother Shen's three taels of silver." It is intended to accumulate blessings for Brother Shen's imperial examination. ”

I gave him more money for the car, and I didn't treat him badly. It's as if I've damaged my yin virtues.

Shen Yazhi was stunned. But when it came to the imperial examination, Shen Yazhi didn't dare to force his mouth, and only looked at Li He in a daze.

Li He only smiled faintly, and then called Lu Hualong, who was playing in the water by the river, to get pen and ink in the car. handed the branch with the barbecue in his hand to Shen Yazhi's entourage Changgui, and walked towards the carriage himself. Shen Yazhi became anxious and couldn't stand jumping.

"Changji, what do you want? Is it difficult to let the coachman go back, so what should we do?"

"We drove the carriage ourselves. Li He said without looking back.

Su Golang, who was getting up and following behind Li He, suddenly stopped. What is this Li Gongzi going to do? Do you want to rent my carriage?

Li He wrote down a prescription on the wheel and handed it to the coachman Su Golang. Ignoring his expression of wanting to say goodbye, he asked Lu Hualong to take out the consultation fee given by the businessman surnamed Zhang yesterday. took out forty taels of silver from it and stuffed it into the hands of Su Goro, who was in a stunned state.

Wen Sheng said: "Your horses and vehicles are worth less than fifty taels. This money can be used as a deposit, or as a sale of carriages and horses. Put it on you for the time being. You hurry home, take the prescription to the first pharmacy at the intersection of Yaowangmiao Street, and find the shopkeeper surnamed Feng to grab the medicine. Just say it's my recipe, and he'll do it for you. Remember, you need to eat 10 pairs of this recipe to be effective. Don't rush to the doctor. ”

Su Wulang took the silver in a daze, and was stunned for a long time before he spoke. Looking at Shen Xianggong, who was following him, he looked angry, and suddenly pushed the silver to Li He.

said incoherently: "Shen Xianggong has already paid the fare." The villain can't go by car in person, which is already very undeserved. If you accept this silver again, the villain's conscience will be uneasy. When you return to Luoyang, the carriage and horse will be returned to me. Whatever you say, the villain can't accept the money. ”

Li He smiled and shook his head, and pushed the silver back to Su Goro.

As if the silver was hot, Su Wulang hurriedly let go. The silver fell to the ground, but Su Goro turned around and ran towards the official road.

He shouted from afar: "When you come back, you can find me by looking for the shopkeeper of the Gao Xuan Inn." Then return my carriage!"

Originally, with Li He and Lu Hualong's footsteps, anyone could easily catch up with Su Wulang. But Li He thought about it, and it was inconvenient for him to go on the road alone with the silver. Besides, it would only take three or five days for him to return to Luoyang, and he couldn't delay Su Wulang's business. immediately shouted Lu Hualong, who wanted to chase people.

At this time, the riverside wafts with the smell of barbecue. Before everyone washed their hands and ate, Shen Yazhi chattered and complained.

"Why did you really let the coachman go, we don't know each other well. Where can I get to Chang'an?"

"Brother Shen, don't worry, I can find the way, I'll drive. Bao Zhun drove faster than the driver. ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the official road to the west, and suddenly they came closer.

Immediately the man turned to the reins, and after the neighing of the horses, a gruff voice laughed, "Don't hurry! ”
