Chapter 425 Encounter Growing Pears on the Road (Full Order)

Under the guard of Jin Yiwei, the group packed up their things in the magistrate's mansion, and then headed south in a carriage.

Half a month later, I arrived in Guobei County, Gusu.

Because Bai Gui repeatedly used spells to treat Nie Xiaoqian, the journey was bumpy, and Nie Xiaoqian's condition did not worsen, but her complexion gradually improved.

Master Nie received the official letter from the imperial court and immediately took the post of magistrate of Guobei County.

The court sweeps the idle time.

Bai Gui and Nie Xiaoqian came out together.

Boy servants and maids follow.

Gusu is a prosperous place, and Guobei County is not bad.The commercial street is full of peddlers, some are farmers who came to the city early to sell their own fruits and vegetables, there are also some jugglers, and various snack vendors.

Although vegetables can be grown in the city, they are not good varieties at this time. They need to be carefully cared for and selected from the best before they can be sold as dishes.

There are storytellers and singers in the west.

Under the eaves of the pavilion, a few bamboo poles were torn up, and a tarpaulin was propped up. Below were some simple tables and stools, and audiences in twos and threes had already sat down.

The storyteller took a sip of tea at the moment and was hanging his throat.

In the hut, there are children boiling tea and boiling water.

Bai Gui walked over with Nie Xiaoqian, sat at an idle table in the corner, ordered a pot of high-quality tea, and waited for the storytelling.

There is a bean curd stall next door, and the business is good.

The bean curd seller is a young woman, a bit pretty.Her chest was tight, and she deliberately wore a close-fitting shirt, which looked very graceful.

"Two bowls of bean curd, one salty and one sweet."

Bai Gui sent Nie Xiaoqian's personal maid, Cui'er, to buy two bowls of bean curd at the bean curd stand next door.

The bean curd is white, tender and plump, and it looks extremely delicious.

Appetite, pleasure in the world.

"Three emperors and five emperors of morality, fame and fame after the Xia Dynasty, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, five tyrants and seven heroes in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their rise and fall in an instant."

"There are a few lines of names and surnames in Qingshi, and there are countless barren hills in Beimang. The predecessors sowed the seeds and the later harvested, it was nothing more than a fight between dragons and tigers..."

The storyteller came with a few opening poems, picked up tea, moistened his throat, and started to start storytelling as soon as he patted the wood.

But this time.

There were a few noises in the downtown area.

It attracted the eyes of the teahouse listeners.

on the street.

It was a tattered Taoist, with torn scarves and cotton clothes, begging for pears.

Naturally, the villagers at the pear stand refused. These are early pears, carefully selected pears from pear orchards, which can be sold on the street.

Although a pear is not expensive, it cannot be easily given up.

Taoists begging for pears also have no alms-giving attitude.

Maybe he wasn't arrogant before, but following the scolding of the villagers, this Taoist's complexion was not very good-looking, turning blue and white.

The supporter in the market saw the Taoist arguing with the pear-sellers, worried about the impact on his income, so he bought a pear with his own money and gave it to the Taoist.
"Everyone is optimistic."

After the Taoist finished eating the pears in two or three bites, he saluted everyone, "I have good pears, please taste them once, this is my thanks."

His gratitude refers to the pears the sponsor bought for him.

The onlookers were a little surprised. After all, just now the Taoist was asking the villagers to beg for pears, and now he is giving pears to others, which is so strange.

"I need this pear pit as a seed."

The Taoist explained.

The next moment, the pear pit he planted began to germinate, and a small sapling grew out.In a short time, the saplings became trees, the shade was complicated, and pear blossoms grew.

The pears are huge and fragrant, and the trees are full of trees.

Immediately afterwards, the Taoist distributed the pears to the crowd in the downtown area.

"Lang Jun and Miss, why don't you try this pear too."

The Taoist held the pears, walked to the tea shed where Bai Gui and Nie Xiaoqian drank tea, and said with a smile.

Although in the downtown area, there are quite a few wealthy households in Qiembroidered Lingluo, but Bai Gui and Nie Xiaoqian are all outstanding among these people without exception.

No matter what Nie Xiaoqian said, she is a famous lady from the capital city. Some subtleties can be seen to be different from the wealthy households in the local county, such as the rouge and gouache applied, and the exquisite hairpin and so on.

Besides, her beautiful face is not comparable to ordinary girls, even if she wears a veil, it is difficult to hide it.

And Bai Gui was calm and relaxed, without the horror of the onlookers.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a little abnormal.

Even if it can be explained with the strategy of cultivating the chest, it is still somewhat different from ordinary people.

"This Taoist priest, I don't know where the fairy temple is? Where do you settle?"

Bai Gui didn't take the pears, but asked people instead.

He is a disciple of Lou Guan Dao, and he is the direct descendant of Taoism.

This Taoist seems to be planting pears, but in fact he deceives the pears from the pear sellers by embedding flowers and planting trees.

Doing so will damage the reputation of Taoism.

Although he will not clean up the house, it is not his turn to do so.

But some necessary questions still need to be done.

If you spot one roach, it means there are thousands of roaches in ambush.

"You scholar, I kindly gave you a pear, but you asked me about it instead."

The tattered Taoist was dissatisfied.

"I see that the Taoist priest has great magic power, and I am determined to visit and study."

Bai Gui got up, cupped his hands and said.

Done enough courtesy.

Along the way, he followed the Nie family father and daughter to Guobei County.Along the way, many strange things happened.Such as corpse change, Mrs. Fox and so on.

Daoism is not so uncommon in this world.

Of course, this is based on his perspective of looking at the whole world. In real life, it may be difficult for ordinary people to encounter Taoists or demons to perform Taoism in their lifetime.

The tattered Taoist frowned slightly, "I am practicing in Shangzhenguan."

"If you have the heart, go to Shangzhenguan to learn from the teacher."

After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

Not long after the Taoist left, the blindness was removed, and the pile of pears on the pear stalls of the villagers was empty.

The villagers wailed loudly.

"Bai Lang, you ask the Taoist priest where is the fairy temple?"

"But you plan to go to hide from the world and practice Taoism?"

Nie Xiaoqian asked with a tense expression.

Scholars are tired of reading, and many people will go to retreat to practice Taoism. Even if they don't escape into Buddhism, it is common for them to live in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples for several years or ten years.

She had heard Lord Nie say these things occasionally, so she was worried.

"I have no plans to practice Taoism now."

Bai Gui shook his head and comforted him.

He could see that what the tattered Taoist said should be true.But Taoists in Taoist temples must be Taoists?Not necessarily.

It's a person, and everyone knows that rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, and they don't make trouble in the countryside.

Now the ragged Taoist is doing this, even if he can relieve his depression for a while, his thoughts will be clear.But for the local Taoist sect, this may not be a good thing.At least the reputation of the local Taoist sect will plummet.

People... are always lenient to themselves and strict with others.

"That Taoist turned out to be a Taoist priest of Shangzhenguan?"

"Unexpectedly, his heart is so vicious. This villager just doesn't give him his pears. After all, this pear is the livelihood of his family... Because of this, he cheated this villager of his pears."

"Let's not talk about it, I'm going to invite the tablet of my ancestors from Shangzhen Temple. I don't plan to give you the sesame oil money from Shangzhen Temple."

"I have long heard that these Taoists are greedy. During the Jiajing Dynasty, these Taoists were the ones who lied to the emperor..."

"Where is the ancestral tablet enshrined?"

"I heard... there is a Lanruo outside the city, where incense is flourishing, you can go there to worship."
