Yizhi arrives

Chapter 1 A reunion and a joy
That year was the 38th year of Shenfeng, and the fireworks were in March.

June City under the sun is as quiet as a virgin, with a warm spring breeze.

The news that the great scholar of the current dynasty had returned to his hometown to visit his relatives spread in the streets and alleys of June City.

June City is the small capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with music and music every night, paper and gold fans, and the Seventh City of the Great Capital, opposite to the north and south.It was originally the capital of the Great Zhou, but later an ancestor of the Great Zhou disliked the dryness of the city in June, and the bad feng shui, and the sky was gray for three out of ten days, so he moved the capital south to Yinlong City in Huainan, and renamed it Seventh City. sun city.However, because the ancestors were buried on Jiuning Mountain outside June City, every year the emperor had to come back to worship the ancestors, so the dignitaries in the capital set up other courtyards in June City, and it was very lively.

I happened to go out to make soy sauce. Standing on the threshold of the soy sauce shop, I saw a female family member of a senior scholar from a distance enter the jewelry shop in front.Inside, there was a woman holding a beautiful paper fan, which was very conspicuous.

The aunt from the soy sauce shop sighed to the aunt from the steamed stuffed bun shop next door: "Hey, all the ladies and gentlemen of the Bai family look like fairies."

Aunt Baozi clicked her tongue: "Look at the young lady next to Mrs. Bai, the most beautiful woman in the Zhou Dynasty."

Huh?
I quickly stepped on my feet and wanted to take another look at the first beauty over there.

"What is the number one beauty in Dazhou? She is obviously the sister of the number one beauty."

Suddenly a passer-by interrupted, with a playful tone in his tone.

These words caught my attention, so I turned my head and looked up, and saw a man wearing a bamboo hat leaning against the eaves outside the shop, dressed like a prodigal son, the sun was shining on him, and there was a sense of travel and dust in his laziness .

The man's bamboo hat is pressed down very low, and only the man's chin can be seen. I am eight years old, and my height only reaches his thigh. From bottom to top, I can see his thin chin first, and then his thin red lips , then the straight bridge of the nose, and finally met his pair of beautiful sleeping phoenix eyes, like Lin Daiyu, deserted.

It's not that I'm narcissistic. It's a well-known fact in Baishui Lane that my Baozi look is quite pleasing, so he grinned at me.

His smile is not warm, not as good as Kou Yuan.Kou Yuan is a doctor, and I am his drug boy.

Aunt Soy Sauce and Aunt Baozi leaned over and asked him why he said that.

He only heard him speak again quietly, "The most beautiful woman in the world is the eldest lady of the Bai family, but the one you see is not the eldest lady, but the second lady. The wife of the senior scholar Bai gave birth to twins back then. Different twins." He deliberately prolonged the last sentence, making the two aunts amazed and dubious.

Da Zhou superstitiously believes that twins are an ominous omen, and twins who look different are the best of the ominous.I am young and short-sighted, so I still have a half-knowledge of these customs.

"This second young lady was taken away by the younger sister of Senior Bachelor Bai and kept by her side since she was born. It's normal if you don't know."

"Then how did you know, young master?" Aunt Baozi asked the man.

"Where did the first beauty go?" The soy sauce god was more concerned about the beauty.

The man raised the corners of his lips, with an attitude of believing it or not, and did not intend to explain how he knew this secret, nor did he answer the question of where the first beauty went.

I heard this silently, looked up at the sun, it was time for lunch, Zhao Xiaocong was in a hurry to cook without soy sauce, so I took the soy sauce bottle and headed home.Zhao Xiaocong is also Kou Yuan's drug boy, but Zhao Xiaocong can call Kou Yuan Master, but Kou Yuan won't let me call him that.
Before I walked a few steps, my eyes suddenly flickered, and a golden bean fell from the sky, and with a soft bang, it landed at my feet.

Kou Yuan has taught me and Zhao Xiaocong to practice martial arts in the past few years. Zhao Xiaocong has learned it well, and he seems to be a good seedling for a martial arts master, but I am not a martial arts material.He stared blankly at the golden bean at his feet three times, then stepped over steadily as if he didn't see it.If it was Zhao Xiaocong, he would definitely kick the bean away and embed it in the crack of the opposite wall.Kou Yuan said that there is no good thing in the world, such as now, telling us not to be greedy for petty gain, which is a disgrace to moral integrity.

After a few more steps, another golden bean came.

I lowered my head and took a serious look three times before stepping over, but still didn't pick it up.

I think I'm very virtuous.

At this time someone said behind me, "Little sister, your golden beans have fallen." When I turned my head, it turned out to be the prodigal son, who squatted down and was already holding the two golden beans in his hands.

Many years later, when I recalled this scene, I only sincerely doubted that my integrity was dropped with this golden bean at that time, or maybe it never existed on me from the beginning to the end.

The current prices in the Great Zhou Dynasty are: a pot of soy sauce is five Wen, one golden bean can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand Wen, so one golden bean can give me two thousand pots of soy sauce ... I was in a daze, did an arithmetic problem, and sighed, the man was still waiting patiently for me to reach out for the golden bean.

"Uncle, this golden bean is not mine, you can ask other people."

In fact, this man is not old, he is about the same age as Kou Yuan, and Kou Yuan is only in his early 20s, in his prime.The point is that I am small.

The man laughed again, "I saw that it fell from your body, so why isn't it yours?"

Don't I know how much silver I have with me?

Silently glanced at the man, kept some distance from him, and asked disgustedly: "Uncle, you are not a matchmaker, are you?" I heard that child trafficking has been rampant recently, using golden beans as bait to spend money.

The March sun shone on this man's face, and I realized that although his body was dusty, his face was very clean, and his skin was as good as snow, and could be broken by blowing bullets.It’s really not that I have had a love/sex since I was a child. Just for a moment, I thought of the famous cherry cake in Xianweilou. The outer layer is also so delicate and white, and the inside is ruddy with cherry filling.

The man didn't speak, but squinted at me, not knowing what he was thinking.

(=.=)!Well, when Aunt Zhou next door is coaxing her three-year-old son to sleep, she always sings a nursery rhyme, "Little rabbit, open the door, hurry up, I want to come in~ I won't open it, I won't open it~ Mom Didn't come back~"

Among natural enemies, the weak are born with a sense of danger. This sense of danger is being aroused from the bottom of my young heart. I want to run for my life. His big hand has already grabbed my back collar and lifted me up like a chicken. Said: "At the beginning, I was afraid that you were mentally retarded, but it seems that Kou Yuan raised you very smart."

■

Of course I am not mentally handicapped, I heard his words clearly, and even analyzed it, this person knew me and Kou Yuan...

"Uncle, who are you?" I twisted under his wolf paws, trying to resist.

He took advantage of the situation and turned my whole body sideways, pinching me in one arm so that I couldn't move.

"Me?" I looked at his face from a strange angle, smiling, and saw his thin lips open and close, and a few words slipped out of his mouth, "I am your master."

……

Whenever I need to use my brain, my brain will always be blank for three times. After three times, I suddenly wake up and retort: ​​"I don't have a master!"

The man let out a "hmm", the end of his voice rose slightly, and then said: "That's it now."

……

Do you know what a generation gap is?
This is the generation gap, the insurmountable generation gap.

I wondered, under broad daylight, a big man abducted a cute eight-year-old child in the street, didn't anyone report it to the authorities? !
This man who called himself "Master" carried me all the way to the depths of Baishui Lane in the east of the city. There was a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, green bricks and black tiles, filled with pear trees. It was the season of flowering, like a courtyard. Covered with a layer of snow.A sandalwood plaque was hung under the eaves, saying: Indulge in the view of Dongfeng.

It's where I lived for three years.

Kou Yuan opened the door himself, and as soon as he opened the door, I yelled: "Kou Yuan, help!"

He ignored my call for help and stood there in a daze.There is a breeze blowing, with a faint fragrance of pear blossoms.

After a long time, Kou Yuan called the man: "Brother."

The man let out a soft "hmm", even lighter than the gust of wind just now.

But it fell into my ears like thunder, big brother! (Singing: I haven’t been a big brother for many years, and I don’t like the cold bedside) When I heard this word, my blood boiled all over my body. I don’t know why it boiled so involuntarily, but I twisted my body again excitedly, and groaned Twice.

"Brother, she is still young and ignorant, let's put her down first." Kou Yuan only noticed my existence at this time, and persuaded his elder brother in a good voice, his aura was obviously half weaker than his elder brother.I have a premonition that something bad is going to happen.

Brother Kou Yuan sneered twice, "hehe", he was very cooperative this time and put me back on the ground safely.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, Sa Yazi ran to the backyard, shouting hysterically, "Zhao Xiaocong, help me~" Kou Yuan was hopeless, and Zhao Xiaocong became my last straw.

That night, in the dining room intoxicated with Dongfengguan, the fourth pair of bowls and chopsticks was placed for the first time. The belt, the clothes are neatly dressed.

Zhao Xiaocong moved the dishes, while I hid in the corner of the kitchen and refused to come out.

During the period, Zhao Xiaocong asked me, "You really don't know him?"

This question was so strange, I asked back: "Why do I know him?"

Zhao Xiaocong stared at my face for a moment, then shook his head and left.

"Hey, don't go, what will I do if you go!"

Gululu... my stomach growled louder and louder than me.

Kou Yuan is calling me outside: "Ami, we are going to have dinner, we won't wait for you if you don't come out. Today we have your favorite salted yellow beef and salted crispy chicken."

I swallowed hard when I heard this, and tried not to answer Kou Yuan, nor to go out. I was so hungry that I pressed my chest against my back and wanted to scratch the wall.I don't know whose idea it was, I purposely hid in the stove to avoid starvation, who knew that Shenzui Dongfeng Temple didn't fire at all today, and the food utensils outside were packaged by the restaurant!

Then there was a slight clashing sound of bowls and chopsticks, and Kou Yuan's voice said, "Brother, come, eat more." The elder brother was silent, and the three people outside ate and ate very well, without any chewing sound.Occasionally Kou Yuan said, "Come here, brother, I'll toast you." Although I refused to go out, I leaned against the wall with my ears stretched out, watching every move outside, and the big brother didn't make a sound when drinking , I couldn't help feeling that Kou Yuan was talking to the air.

While weeping about why the man was silent, the door of the kitchen was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and I could feel a gust of palm blowing in from far away the moment the door opened, and my heart suddenly picked up like a frightened chicken. .The man came in across the threshold and walked in front of me, while I huddled in the corner and looked at him timidly.

At this time, he took off his bamboo hat and changed his clothes. He was wearing a black brocade robe with gold trim and a jade crown with black hair. He looked handsome and handsome without anger.Not to mention, looking at it this way, he looks better than Kou Yuan, and he's even taller.I was young and didn't learn much, and I could only think of one sentence: a humble gentleman, humble yourself.I completely forgot about the philistine tongue that this guy used to gossip with the aunts on the street about the daughter of a scholar.

I swallowed again, blinked my eyes, and couldn't think of a way out.

The man's body was about to move suddenly, and I shrank my neck and closed my eyes like a frightened bird, gritting my teeth and waiting for myself to be lifted out like a chicken again... I waited three times... my body didn't fly into the air, and he didn't touch me at all .

Then I opened one eye and looked around secretly, and saw that he was still standing there, slightly bent, with his right hand stretched out in front of me, which meant that I wanted to hold his hand and go out for dinner together.

Uh.

I looked up at him, thinking that my expression should be dull, but in fact, the not-so-thick barrier in my heart melted quietly, and it was very helpful for him to look like this.Children, Kou Yuan said, just like a puppy, give me a candy, and I will treat you as your own father.

It’s just that it takes a process to create a sense of intimacy, and it takes a bit of patience to tease a puppy. Just before I was about to stuff my fat paws into the man’s green hand, he couldn’t wait, so he said first: " Are you intermittently retarded?"

……

The goodwill I had just built up for him quickly shattered into dregs.

In the end, I pursed my mouth and tried my best to end this unpleasant reunion in a child's way.

"Wow~ahhh~"

— howling.

■

The reason why he called it a reunion is that Kou Yuan told me that this man with a poisonous tongue is really my master who has been away for three years.But I don’t always have a good memory. Not to mention the vague memory of things three years ago, even the simple question of whether it was sunny or rainy yesterday, I have to think about it three times before I can recall it.

Zhao Xiaocong said: "I remember everything from when I was three years old, how come you are such a living person and can't remember three years ago."

I pursed my mouth and wanted to drop the beans to scare them.

Zhao Xiaocong was so scared that he immediately fell silent, he was most afraid of me crying.Kou Yuan found a very good step for me to come down: "Ami was seriously ill when he was five years old. He had a persistent high fever and almost died. It was the sequelae of that incident."

You see, there is a reason why I sometimes have a bad brain. Things before the age of five are all blurred. Besides, children's brains and bodies are developing. There are not many gifted children who can remember everything when they were young. Yes or no?

"Zhao Xiaocong, I remember the first day you came to Guanli, you slept alone in a big room at night, but the next day you wet the bed and threw the sheets into the well."

Zhao Xiaocong's milk baby face immediately turned black into carbon, and he gave me a look, and that posture was to sever friendship with me.

After listening to Kou Yuan's explanation, I can restore the incident: When I was sick and dying, the "master" left me in the care of Dr. Kou Yuan, who was unrestrained but had extraordinary medical skills. The medical bills were not paid, so Kou Yuan kept me as a drug boy to pay off the debt with disgust, so when I recovered from the illness, he erased all the memories of this master from his mind.

Kou Yuan tried to wake up the master-student bond with his elder brother deep in my heart, "The rice noodles you ate when you were young were all smashed by your master with a hammer."

Hey, other people's children drink grandma, poor me can only drink rice cereal, no wonder my brain and body are always owed to others!I looked at the man quietly and said, "If he is the master of A Mi, why don't I see him come to see A Mi once in three years?" And Kou Yuan, he never mentioned that I have another master, let me All these years, I always thought that I was an orphan picked up by Kou Yuan.

"Naturally, your master is busy with important matters, and he has no skills." Kou Yuan earnestly said, "The cherry cake from Xianweilou, which you love to eat during Chinese New Year, was sent by your master."

There is no such cherry cake in June City, only one in Qiri City, Dajing. I heard that it is outrageously expensive and the supply is insufficient, but Kou Yuan knows many people, especially the strange woman who asks him to buy medicine, so I always I think those cherry cakes are some women who like him under the pretense of seeing a doctor and buying medicine to get close, and try their best to send him a New Year's gift.But after hearing what he said, my stomach hurt a little, and I was very entangled in clutching my stomach.

Then he said, "And as you know, I'm very stingy, how could I give you so much lucky money every Chinese New Year..."

"Zhao Xiaocong also has it!"

"Zhao Xiaocong's share is from the lucky bag that your master gave you..."

Kou Yuan, can we still live a good life? !
