Emperor Kangxi: The First Rule of the Palace

Chapter 34 Baiyun Guan Concentric Continuation Spring and Autumn Drum Tower Ju Yizhi Hu Kaizi (1)
When La Aunt Su Ma walked out of the temple gate, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.This level is finally over, but how can we deal with this idiot now?Seeing Wu Ciyou walking silently, as if he was thinking about something, he asked, "Are you hungry? Let's not rush home in a sedan chair. Let's find a wild shop nearby and get a job before we go——I follow the rules and follow the rules." My back hurts and my legs hurt!"

"That's good." Wu Ciyou said, "But today's incident is so weird, why does Long Er and Xiao Wei Ziyue look so awkward, he looks like Long Er's slave, why don't you recognize each other? La Aunt Su Ma covered her mouth with a smile and said, "He is a Qing guest in Aozhongtang's mansion, and he has the appearance of a servant. I heard that he got along well with Xiao Weizi at first, and he is also a cousin. I just met by chance today. , People’s hearts are unpredictable, so naturally I don’t think it’s good.” Wu Ciyou is a scholar, and he can’t doubt it anymore, so he smiled and said: “This is too careful.”

The two walked while talking, and turned around a pile of rubble, and saw an earthen wall in front of them, with vines climbing all over the wall and old trees whirling beside the wall. In the countryside, it is particularly eye-catching.Wu Ciyou nodded and smiled, "This place is not bad, it's a place to study."

"Both of you, please dine inside. There are mutton boiled with siu mai, all kinds of delicate dim sum, Jinghang silver thread noodles..."

Wu Ciyou was only talking to Wanniang, not paying attention to the shop owner.But when he heard the voice very familiar, he looked up and saw that the boss was He Guizhu. ——Long time no see, he has gained a lot of weight, and asked in surprise: "Zhu'er, why are you here?"

"Yo, it's my second master!" He Guizhu saw that it was Wu Ciyou with a strange girl, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "The villain is getting more and more clumsy, and the second master is wearing this clothes again, so I don't even dare to recognize him."——Here is the little girl I greet you!"

Aunt Su Ma had heard about this person from Wei Dongting earlier, she only looked at him in surprise, then looked at the two big characters "Shangu" on the cover, and followed Wu Ciyou into the shop.He Guizhu followed behind, saying incessantly: "...Shortly after you left, Yuepeng Store couldn't continue to open. Thanks to Lord Wei, Lord Wei found another place for the villain to stay here... Thanks to my master's help, it's not that these good friends of my master are capable, the villain still doesn't call me—" before finishing the sentence, he swallowed the words when he saw a guest inside looking at him.He let Wu Ciyou and Aunt Su Ma into the private seat inside, and then went to arrange the meal himself.

When entering inside, Aunt Su Ma stared at the guest, as if she had met her before, but she couldn't remember and didn't care.After entering the inner room, he suddenly woke up and said, "It's like that ugly assassin in the legend, what is he doing here?" Suddenly he became nervous, thinking that Kangxi and the others had already gone far away, and there was no major event, so he gradually settle down.

Wu Ciyou didn't pay attention to Aunt Su Ma's face, and appreciated the poems left by the guests on the powder wall word by word with great interest. Seeing that most of them were praising the Baiyun Temple and preaching karma, it didn't make much sense, but there was a detailed line The word caught his attention.After thinking about it, I lowered my head and thought about it again, laughing to myself.When Aunt Su Ma came over to look curiously, there was something written on the whitewashed wall:

〖In the third month of Renyin, Hou and his wife will meet in Gaoxuan〗

Unconsciously, his face became a little hot, and he spat: "Literati are boring, writing such obscene words on it." Wu Ciyou laughed and said: "This can only be regarded as frivolous words. You only know "Three Kingdoms" thoroughly, but you don't know this word He has status.—Wait for me to say a few more words for him."

Just as he was talking, He Guizhu came in with a food plate, a boiling hot pot, a plate of siu mai, and a plate imitating Texas grilled chicken.

He lifted the drumstick and shook it deftly, and the meat fell down neatly.Seeing Wu Ciyou and Aunt Su Ma reading the words, he smiled and said, "This is still a matter in the hands of the owner of the previous store. It is said that a distinguished person came to this store in March."

"A bannerman?" Aunt Su Ma asked.

"It's Han." He Guizhu smiled, "I brought a woman with me, who is even more beautiful than Chen Yuanyuan!" Seeing Wu Ciyou asking for a pen, he picked up the curtain and went out.With a flash of the curtain, Aunt Su Ma saw that the assassin got up and went out.

Seeing her in a daze, Wu Ciyou asked, "Wanniang, what are you thinking?" Aunt Su Ma was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Chen Yuanyuan! Isn't that noble person Wu Sangui?" Wu Ciyou was also startled, examined the handwriting carefully, and said : "Who is it if it's not him? I've seen the letters he wrote to my late father in the early years. They are very similar! Thanks to your cleverness, you can remember them all at once."

"Second Lord!" He Guizhu excitedly held an inkstone and came in with a pen, "Please use the ink." Wu Ciyou said, "Okay." While holding the pen and moistening the ink, he said to He Guizhu with a smile, "It just stained your face." Wall." He Guizhu squinted his eyes with a smile, and said, "What are you talking about, my calligraphy is worth more than anything else! This is in Beijing, and not many people know it. If you cross the Yangtze River, I'm afraid you won't get anywhere if you spend money. buy it!"

Wu Ciyou said to Aunt Su Ma, "This man uses the Chunqiu brushwork, I will continue with the Chunqiu brushwork." Then he continued with the small characters:

〖Long drought in summer, early frost in autumn, rain and snow in winter, Mrs. Hou Xi collapsed. 〗

After finishing writing, he sat down and said: "If you don't measure your virtue and don't measure your strength, isn't it the way of suicide?"

Aunt Su Ma smiled and said, "It's all over after this continuation - which direction are those people going?"

"I heard what the previous boss said when he was selling the store." He Guizhu wondered why the woman was interested in it, and replied cautiously, "I didn't ask about the latter."

"You don't have to play charades with us!" Aunt Su Ma sneered, "This is your former young master, Xiao Weizi—as you mentioned, Mr. Wei—is my cousin, why can't you believe it? "

He Guizhu was used to being beaten and beaten since he was a child, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are a relative of Master Wei. Just because Second Master Wu is here, I, Zhu'er, dare not hide any lies. I really don't know." Wu Ciyou also felt that It's funny: "Wanniang, let's go after eating, what does Wu Sangui have to do with us?" Aunt Su Ma was speechless just now, and felt that she had no reason, so she laughed: "I was joking, you are busy with you let's go."

Wei Dongting and Bumbleshan sent Kangxi straight from Zuoye Gate into Da Nei, followed by Zhang Wanqiang, Lang Yu and others before retreating.

After leaving Tiananmen Square, Bumble said with a good smile: "It's early, it's boring to go back in the long day. Let's go, I'll treat you!" So the two took off their official clothes and gave them to their servants. go.

West Drum Tower Tea Shop is located in the most prosperous area outside Xuanwu Gate.On the front is a large plaque with four gold characters "Qingfeng Drum Tower", which is the imperial pen of Emperor Zhengde of the former Ming Dynasty.A couplet on both sides is:

〖Sweet bullying Shanyin with a little snow plum
The color presses the maple on the hills of Heyang Man Man〗

It is also a royal book of Zhengde.Relying on this brand, the business of this boss has grown bigger and bigger for more than a hundred years, and Jinling, Suzhou, and Hangzhou all have its branches.

Bumble said with a smile: "Although this Zhengde is very sloppy, his style of writing is not vulgar. It is the authentic story of the thin gold body." Wei Dongting also laughed and said, "Zhengde is not stupid. It doesn't appear that the chaotic government is so unbearable." Bumble nodded and said, "That's right." After saying that, he entered the shop.This shop is said to be a tea and food shop, but in fact tea seats only account for a very small part of its business.Downstairs, there are a variety of snacks, including hot and cold meat and vegetables.Several waiters were so busy that they were sweating.The two of them went upstairs to the private seat when they saw how lively it was below.

As soon as he came upstairs, Wei Dongting saw Hu Gongshan sitting at the window facing the street, drinking alone, with a yellow waxy face, triangular eyes, and broom eyebrows, which was quite funny, so he smiled and said: "Old Hu, I am so happy, I am enjoying myself ah!"

Hu Gongshan hurriedly got up and smiled and said: "Master Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time, auspicious for you!" He wanted to salute.Wei Dongting hurriedly stopped and said, "How dare you do this? Why bother!" Hu Gongshan looked at Bumble and said with a smile, "This gentleman looks familiar, how have I met him before?" Bumble tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "It seems like I met once at Lao Huang's house in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Hu Gongshan said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it is the master of the class, Wansheng is disrespectful. Mr. Huang had a stroke last year, and it was the pulse of Wansheng's diagnosis."
