"Also!" Lu Xiaoshu didn't care that he was about to burst into tears because of choking, and asked angrily with a flushed face, "Where did you find out about it? My master's former lover? What are you looking for her for? What do you want?" ——I want to hit my master's idea!"
"Don't worry!" Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Since I started with you, of course I will tell you the matter. Your master's surname is not Wu, but Bai. He was a well-known celebrity in the past! It is a pity that he was implicated in the Yangzhou imperial examination case. Not only was he robbed of his fame, but his sweetheart was also robbed by someone. It is said that his sweetheart refused to give in and fled. Disappointed, I changed my name and changed my surname to travel around the world, and I somehow ended up in your Maple Leaf Village. I have lived here for so many years... "
"So," Lu Xiaoshu said, "You want to invite my master to come out of the mountain and be your counselor?"
"My daughter-in-law is smart, she can see through it!" Zhou Shizhi clapped his palms and laughed, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right! With Mr. Wu's talents and learning, wouldn't it be a pity to live an ordinary life like this? He should let it go in front of the world." Brilliant, should be famous as a genius!"
"Not everyone is like what you think," Lu Xiaoshu said angrily, "Maybe my master just likes mediocrity?"
"Isn't this a pity?" Zhou Shizhi said: "He has been incognito for so many years and he has had enough recuperation. What he lacks is just an opportunity! If he helps," Zhou Shizhi's eyes lit up, "I will I am more sure!"
Lu Xiaoshu said unhappily: "No wonder you have been asking me about my master these days, so it's for this reason—how do you know that he is the person you are looking for?"
Zhou Shizhi glanced at her and said with a smile, "This is your painting."
He said, looking at the splashed ink painting of landscape hanging on the wall, and said softly: "Actually, the shopkeeper Yi Da told me about this painting when he saw it earlier, saying that it was very similar to the one he got back then. The authentic work of Mr. Bai Mo."
There is no need for him to go on, Lu Xiaoshu already understood.
As a result, they began to look for Mr. Bai Mo, but unfortunately, the whereabouts of Bi Tengshan people are uncertain, and no one in this world has seen his face!
Then, from this painting, it seems that the person from Biteng Mountain who is clearly related to Mr. Baimo is not so easy to find.
Maybe, they actually looked for Bitengshanren in the dark, but they would never have guessed that it was her! Until she foolishly said it triumphantly in front of Zhou Shizhi...
No wonder he looked terrified that day on the lake...
"Your master has not been married for so many years, and after he left home, he had been looking for his lover for a while, but he gave up because he never found her! Since I accidentally learned the whereabouts of that girl , always send a favor to your master."
Lu Xiaoshu sighed: "Actually, I agree that my master accidentally mentioned his lover twice, it seems that he really still misses her! If you really find him, you have given him the right gift." !"
Zhou Shizhi smiled and said: "Really? Hearing what you said, I am more confident! I originally planned to set off tomorrow, but now, it doesn't matter if we delay for two or three days, you and your little aunt Say it well."
"Understood!" Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips and said, "Are you so sure that I will go with you?"
"That's your master's former lover, so you're not curious at all? Even if you're not curious, as a disciple, you don't want to help master with this matter?" Zhou Shizhi laughed.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being moved, if he really helped the master find the prospective teacher's wife back, the master would be very happy, right? In fact, she has always respected Master, thinking that she can please Master...
"Okay, I'll go with you! I also want to see how your wife-to-be is doing!" Lu Xiaoshu said: "With me here, it will be easier to strike up a conversation with your wife-oh, you must have thought about that a long time ago ?” He glared at him.
"That's right!" Zhou Shizhi smiled.
Hearing what he said so straightforwardly, Lu Xiaoshu immediately let go of his aggrieved heart, and said with a "puchi" smile: "You are honest, knowing that lying to me will not end well!"
"How dare I lie to you?" Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "If you annoy me again, how can I coax you back!"
"It's good that you know!" Lu Xiaoshu felt annoyed when he thought of the Marquis' Mansion.
It's just that she quickly put this matter aside, and instead pestered Zhou Shizhi with great interest, asking gossip about the master and his wife-to-be "in those days".
Zhou Shizhi is a big man, how does he know how to say this? The more I talked about it, the more suspicious it became, and the more it seemed unclear, there were a lot of rumors. Lu Xiaoshu became more interested, and kept asking, Zhou Shizhi was in a panic when he asked, and finally changed the topic to her little aunt's illness, and then blocked her mouth.
The next day, when Lu Xiaoshu told Tong Yu'er about going to Nanjing, Tong Yu'er's face immediately changed, she was quite nervous and worried. It was not easy to meet her relatives, and her nervous and apprehensive heart just fell to the ground. She didn't want Lu Xiaoshu to suddenly say that she wanted to leave, how could she be at peace
It's about Zhou Shizhi's important matter, so Lu Xiaoshu couldn't explain it to Tong Yu'er in detail, so he just made up a reason at random, Tong Yu'er managed to coax Tong Yu'er to feel at ease. After Tong Yu'er heard her promise to come back in a month or two, she would take herself to the capital to look for her husband. With sustenance in her heart, she calmed down and told her to be careful on the road, go early and return early.
Lu Xiaoshu agreed one by one, leaving Dujuan and Xiaozhu to take care of her, and took Honge to go with Zhou Shizhi, besides Fang Miaomiao, Guan Li and others.
Just looking at this situation, Lu Xiaoshu knew how important his quasi-mother was to them, or it should be said that he was the master.
A dozen or so people drove lightly and quickly, and after eleven or twelve days, they entered the boundary of Jiangning Mansion. After careful calculation, after another two days of dry road, you can abandon the shore and board the ship, and you can go directly to Nanjing City in two or three days on the Yangtze River Bank of China.
According to Zhou Shizhi's exact information, her prospective wife is on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. Cough, without asking, Lu Xiaoshu can guess what her identity is now in such a beautiful place like Qinhuai River.
But what does it matter? Lu Xiaoshu firmly believed that the person Master had his eye on would definitely not be a self-willed and depraved person. The quasi-mistress was forcibly taken away back then, since she could not escape, even if she was living in the land of fireworks, she must be a strange woman of a generation.
At noon that day, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, the wind suddenly changed, the branches were twisted and deformed, and sand and rocks were flying all over the ground. It was obvious that it was going to rain heavily.
There are quite a lot of temples in the south, and there are even more dilapidated and abandoned temples. Everyone looked around and saw a corner of the eaves and tile roofs on the small hill on the left in front of them, so they hurried there.
Although everyone was anxious, they were not panicked or worried. Even if it rains non-stop, the south of the Yangtze River is densely populated, and there is a village ten miles away. It is not as common as going to the northwest for half a day, and you may not see half a family. Even if I miss Sutou, I guess there will be someone who can stay not far away.
As soon as I stepped into the ruined temple, I heard "rumbling" thunder rolling across the sky, and heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky, splashing mist and water vapor all over the ground.
"Almost drowned!" Lu Xiaoshu brushed the slightly messy hair on his forehead, leaned on the edge of the door and looked out.
Zhou Shizhi then came over to pull her: "Be careful if your clothes get wet and catch a cold, hurry up and sit down inside!"
Lu Xiaoshu stuck out his tongue, turned around and sat down with him.
Everyone found a place to sit or lean on in twos and threes, but there was no sound. After Zhou Shizhi took control of the villa, his subordinates were very strict. In front of him, there were not many people who were not afraid of him except Lu Xiaoshu. Even Hongcalyx and Fang Miaomiao follow the rules carefully.
The statue enshrined in the main hall of this temple is no longer recognizable as a statue. The entire mottled body is peeled off, the facial features are blurred, and the whole body is covered with dust, cobwebs, mouse feces and other filth.
Lu Xiaoshu was bored, so he kept staring at the statue without blinking his eyes. Seeing that it was funny, Zhou Shizhi leaned over to tease her and said, "See what's weird?"
"I'm thinking, what does this look like? Look at what it looks like!" Lu Xiaoshu shook Zhou Shizhi's arm and said with a smile, "Why don't we take a guess! The loser is going to have a drink tonight!"
"Nonsense again!" Zhou Shizhi laughed and said, "If you want to drink, you have to wait until you get back. There's no way you can mess around on the road." This girl seems very unwilling not to lead his subordinates down.
"Then let's cook tonight, how about it?" Lu Xiaoshu smiled casually.
Zhou Shizhi approached her slightly, smiled lightly and said, "Okay, but this bet is only between you and me."
Lu Xiaoshu smiled, got up and said: "Okay, your craftsmanship is so bad, I'll just take a little bit of a disadvantage!" He said and walked towards the statue.
"I don't know who will lose and who will win!" Zhou Shizhi laughed. How dare she despise his craftsmanship, as if he is at least a little better than her? Besides grilling fish, he didn't know what "cooking skills" she could do.
Lu Xiaoshu blew lightly on the statue, and the dust flew all over the sky, causing her to cover her mouth and turn her head away to cough lightly.
"Be careful!" Zhou Shizhi pulled her back.
"What can you see?" Lu Xiaoshu turned his head to look at him and asked with a smile.
Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Since it's your suggestion, of course you guess first, that's only fair!"
Lu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "Then you can't guess the same as me, if I guess first, you lose!"
"Okay, it's up to you." Zhou Shizhi didn't know whether he was trying to coax her to play or he was confident that she didn't have such skills, so he smiled and nodded in agreement without thinking.
Lu Xiaoshu seemed to feel slighted, and snorted, "Then you are doomed!"
She carefully observed this broken Buddha statue, racking her brains to restore the image in her mind, wishing to immediately pop out an incomparably correct name in her head, so that Zhou Shizhi would be convinced and bowed down. There is no expectation at all...
After scrutinizing it for a long time, she guessed randomly: "I think it is Manjushri, or else it is Samantabhadra!" In other words, Avalokitesvara is definitely not. The Bodhisattvas she knows are limited, it seems that there are only these two.
