Chapter 443: A Chance Encounter
The green smoke smears the dawn mountain, the purple swallow turns the spring water obliquely, it is the sunny weather at this time, and the fragrance of flowers flies from the lake.
The good weather should go out for a walk, Xu Hao went to the bridge outside, there was already a painting boat in the lake, reflecting the hibiscus powder; The tender willows on the smoke embankment, the peach leaf fragrant skirt is dragged, and there are women swimming in the lake everywhere.
Most of the ladies and village girls who turn a blind eye to the exchanges are grease and powder, and the vulgar powder around the green beads is not very natural.
Xu Hao condescended to find that the great monk of Song'an was standing behind a tree, and a pair of poisonous eyes shot dead in the cabin of a painting boat in the lake, staring intently, just staring.
Xu Hao secretly scolded a good monk, followed and looked into the lake, only to see a big boat under the banner of the Tribute Academy, and a white-bearded old man and a monk sitting in the cabin to talk, the doors and windows in the cabin behind were closed, and there was no trace of the woman.
Probably Song'an and the monk knew each other, Xu Hao turned his head to enjoy the lake and mountains, and suddenly the sky was full of black clouds, and in an instant, thunder and lightning intersected, and the heavy rain fell like a downpour.
This scene made Xu Hao laugh, remembering the scene when he and his brothers watched the women last summer, and saw that the tourists and ladies were like lost dogs and chickens in the water, rushing everywhere to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Men are also okay, women are very embarrassed by the rain, generally go into the city to visit Mochou Lake, are three days in advance and four days to get up, when going out, who is not carefully dressed up, poured by the heavy rain, the fat powder smeared is mush, thin clothes are sticky, wet hakama sticks to the flesh and wraps the legs, thick and thin, long and short, round, thin, fat, fat, at a glance.
The whole body is cemented with a single coat and a single jacket revealing two round breasts, like swollen steamed buns, which attracts people's attention. There are women everywhere who are calling for women in a chaotic manner, and their feet are panicking. The road was muddy and slippery, a gust of wind blew and shivered, and I fell and fell and laughed, and my feet were facing the sky.
Xu Hao inevitably felt a little chilly when he was soaked, so he found a pavilion and ran over, and when he got closer, he found that the rain was heavier than before, and there were many women in the pavilion crowded together.
Seeing this, Xu Hao stopped. Standing on the stone with his back on his back, barely being swept away by the rain.
A little daughter-in-law saw that he was polite and handsome, and she had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "Why don't you squeeze this son up?" β
Xu Hao said with a smile: "Men and women don't kiss, and it's the same here." β
Suddenly, someone inside shouted: "Don't worry about Xianggong Xu, this pavilion is a public office, and it was not built by the girls." If they are afraid of men, they shouldn't come into the pavilion, why should Xianggong be so Taoist? β
didn't wait for Xu Hao to speak. A man standing outside said unhappily: "We all have female dependents, and the men are all outside, who is like you and a monk forced to squeeze in?" It is not good to be next to a woman. It is rare that this son respects and refuses to enter the pavilion, but he is a righteous gentleman. Why do you want him to come in? Wait for the rain to stop, and then reason with you. β
Xu Hao looked back and saw that it was the Songan monk crowded among the three or four girls, and the mouth was almost on a girl's eyelids. provoked the girls to look disgusted and desperately dodged to the side.
Songan raised two thick eyebrows and opened a pair of leopard eyes. showed a fierce light and scolded loudly: "You live turtle, what kind of bullshit!" If you want to pity a woman's shame, you shouldn't let your wife out and be pretty, you open your turtle eyes and recognize who I am? Even the master of Zhaoqing Temple doesn't recognize it, this blind turtle can only cook soup, and when the rain stops, he will send you to Shuntianfu to play thirty wool boards, and even your wife will teach you a lesson, so that you can know the monk's means. β
The man who spoke was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound anymore, the other men muttered and complained that he shouldn't have caused trouble, and the women turned blue with fright.
Xu Hao was angry in his heart, he had already been happy and angry for a long time, and he glanced at Song'an quietly, and did not have an immediate seizure.
Suddenly, a person ran over in the distance and said, "My grandfather asked the prime minister to get on the boat for a while, because the rain was too heavy to come and invite me, and ordered the small one to enlighten and ask the minister to take a break." β
Xu Hao asked, "Who is your master?" Why did you invite me? Where is the ship? β
The man pointed with his hand and said, "Under that big poplar tree, it is my family's boat, and the husband will know it when he gets on the boat." The small one took the rain gear, and it was not a few steps to the boat, but the rain was too heavy and Hugh had to delay. β
This kind of thing is rare but also common, and scholars often meet each other like this, even if they meet in Pingshui. Xu Hao was worried that he was sick, so without saying a word, he put on his coat and hurriedly walked to the boat.
Standing at the door of the cabin turned out to be the white-bearded old man, full of spring breeze, welcoming Xu Hao into the cabin. Xu Hao took off the rain gear and was about to give a salute, and the old man said, "Wait." Instructed a little boy to go to the back cabin with Xu Hao to change into clean clothes, shoes and socks.
Xu Hao paused slightly, and several clippers had already rushed over, and immediately followed the child into the back cabin.
Changing into a set of clothes, Xu Hao looked at the scholar's eyebrows and eyes were unusually charming, like a woman, and said thank you, and the scholar lowered his head and smiled.
After coming out, he greeted the old man, and the old man said, "Sir is cold, and eat three cups of hot wine to flush the cold." β
Xu Hao said apologetically: "There is a strict order at home, no wine and food outside can touch my lips, I drink my own." β
After speaking, Xu Hao showed out a small boxy silver kettle, twisted the lid and immediately overflowed with the aroma of wine, raised his head and drank three sips, a warm yang and harmonious breath quickly spread from the stomach to the limbs, and the whole person seemed to come to life.
The old man was secretly surprised in his heart, and pointed to the monk next to him and introduced: "This Zen master's Dharma name is Fayun, which is given purple today, coming from Wutai Mountain, with boundless mana and many wisdom. β
Fayun? Xu Hao observed that this evil monk, who was probably trying to rape the woman, dared to swagger and deceive in the capital, and it seemed that Zhu Gaochi was canonized, so the county officials did not dare to detain him, and you were unlucky to meet me.
His face is like a silver plate, his eyebrows are like a glaive, his nose is straight and his mouth is square, his ears are long and his forehead is broad, his eyes are shining with light, he does have the appearance of an Arhat, his back is plump and fleshy, and his arms are thick and he knows that he is a person who practices martial arts, about forty years old.
Wearing a purple dark dragon robe, wearing red shoes, a round fat head, and a large purple-red ring scar with a dragon's eye core on the top of his head.
Xu Hao said casually: "I don't even worship Confucianism, let alone Zen theory?" You don't have to ask for advice. β
After speaking, he was about to sit down directly, and the old man hurriedly said: "The Zen master is a foreigner, and he is also an elder, so naturally he should be the first to sit." But this gentleman is not a Confucian child, and is not good at Zen law, should meet in the world, listen to the accent is the capital people's family, the Zen master is now living in Mochou Lake, which one is sitting, this is up to the Zen master himself. β
Xu Hao has no good impression of religion, except for the Han people's own Taoism, everything else is not very cold, and he wants him to sit under a monk who does evil? He is worthy of it!
However, the old man's intention was clearly to ask him to sit down, and there was some meaning in it, it seemed that it was not a simple chance encounter in Pingshui.
At the moment, Xu Hao was not humble at all, he arched his hand casually, and sat on the top with his ass, Fayun almost broke his chest, the problem was that he had just committed something and couldn't have a seizure, so he had to sit in second place unhappily.
The old man naturally sat down as the chairman, and ordered to change to a new banquet and send a cup of tea first, but Xu Hao still refused and asked: "I have never known Jing, may I ask the old gentleman with his surname, where is your hometown?" Why did you invite me here? β
The old man smiled and said: "The student's surname is the end, the number is indifferent, the ancestral residence is on the right side of the river, and he came here to visit the lake because of visiting relatives." The servants said that there was a prince on the shore who was caught in the rain, and because he was afraid of squeezing the woman from entering the pavilion, he stood outside for a long time, soaking wet. It is also said that a monk did not avoid suspicion, forced himself in the pavilion, and beckoned the minister to enter, because he had a quarrel with everyone.
The students were curious to see that the honorable product was a virtuous and blessed face in the front cabin, so they dared to ask someone to be invited, I don't know the name and address of Mr., Gui Geng's geometry, whether he had a marriage, and there are relatives in the family. β
Xu Hao couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that he had both virtue and happiness! Why don't you say that my face is unspeakably precious? stared at each other's eyes and said with a smile: "My surname is Xu Minghao, my ancestral home is Fengyang, my parents are complete, and I am clumsy Jing Mu." Born in Jinling and raised in Jinling, this Mochou Lake is my backyard, and I will come and walk when I am bored. β
I didn't want to laugh indifferently, stood up and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, I met the son of the old man!" The old nephew is so young and old, heroic and uninhibited, heroic and introverted, and my friend has a future. β
Xu Hao was startled and hurriedly got up, and asked curiously, "The old gentleman is familiar with his father?" Dare to ask for details? β
Wei smiled indifferently and said: "Childe doesn't know, when Ling Zun was in Changsha as a palace guard, the old man was the king of the valley for a long time, and during that period of time, he and Ling Zun intersected with each other, and they communicated with each other. Retired in recent years, and the death of his wife and concubine, and your family became a stranger, the day before yesterday into Beijing to visit, I didn't expect to meet in this Mochou Lake and the nephew unexpectedly, it is really a happy thing. β
Xu Hao knew that Xu Qingtang had indeed been a lieutenant of the Guwang Mansion for two years when he was young, and then he returned to the capital impatiently as a military attachΓ©.
If Xu Hao was just an ordinary person, he would naturally not suspect anything, the problem is that with his identity, he has encountered too many similar things, and his relatives and friends are just old, and this long history of being the king of the valley, he doesn't believe that he has nothing to do with Zhu Lu.
Since the other party knew his identity, Xu Hao didn't need to pretend to be surprised, and nodded lightly.
At this time, it was too much to pretend not to know the identity of Xu Hao, and he didn't dare to speak with the identity of the elders, and said enthusiastically: "At the beginning, the old man had another cheap name, and then he changed his name indifferently because he had no children, and he gave birth to a daughter, and later he took a concubine to entertain the old man, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, but unfortunately the son died early, and only the young daughter remained. β
Do you have to use beauty tricks to please me? You don't have to guess that his daughter is a beauty, otherwise why would you say it? Xu Hao thought in his heart, he had a hunch that the King of the Valley must have other plans, and with the King of Qi who was about to move, it seemed that the past few years would be eventful.
