The night is extremely dark, mist is thick, the moon is half hidden, and the cold night wind is blowing, and there is a ghostly atmosphere of monsters and troubled times.
The person who made this series of strange noises was a monk, which was beyond the expectations of passers-by, but the vigilance on people's faces did not relax, because the monk was dressed in plain clothes, even though the monk's robes were like snow. Generally pure and innocent, it can't hide the fact that he is a strange monk.
For hundreds of years, Buddhism has flourished unabated. When Xiayue was at war and the world was in turmoil, there were still three hundred temples in the world. Now that the eight directions are settled, the number of three hundred will only increase. But even though there are so many masters in the court nowadays, I have never seen any Buddhist disciples in any monastery dressed in white and plain.
As a branch of Buddhism, there is no external object in the mind. It is precisely to achieve the state of not being happy with things and not saddening yourself. Therefore, it is not advisable to wear colorful clothes, and it is best to avoid pure color clothes, such as yellow, blue, ink, red Colors such as green, white, etc. are all in the precepts of pure colors. Therefore, Buddhists in the court mostly wear mixed clothes of blue-gray and yellow-brown to avoid greed for clothing and accessories.
The white-robed monk is tall and slender, walking steadily, with a straight spine, a string of plum-blossom bone-piercing pill holding beads is wrapped around his left wrist, and a black-gold lotus tin staff with a single round and six rings is held in his right hand, and the sound of the jingle bell is his The sound of the gold rings on the tin rod colliding with each other while walking. It is strange to see a white-robed monk appearing on the street when the ghosts are walking at night, but the strangest thing is that this monk is wearing a plain veiled hat with a slightly longer brim, which completely covers his face. Each hangs a string of thin beads, and at the end is decorated with two beads of the same color as the bracelet in the hand.
For Yu Seng, he is too luxurious, Yu Jinnian thought.
But even an unreasonable monk can dress so ostentatiously and have a stable aura. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is already an extraordinary big man. They only think that there are always some things that are different from ordinary people. They can't control so much and respect them. The love does not decrease but increases.
The white-robed monk came slowly from the other end of the long street, and stopped in front of the passers-by who were burning the cold clothes for sacrifices. He saw his left hand move slightly, and something slipped from his cuff, and it landed on his feet with a few clangs, and he continued to move forward. go.
The man kneeling on the ground waited for him to walk away before he dared to reach out tremblingly to pick it up. He picked up the scattered things on the ground, only to find that they were a few shiny copper coins, and his eyes widened involuntarily. The white-robed monk who went away only talked about gifts, but didn't leave a single message. The man understood it by himself, and said gratefully for a moment: "It's the money to transform evil spirits... Ah, thank you master!"
As he spoke, he held a few copper coins and saluted the monk from a distance, regardless of whether he could see it or not.
Yu Jinnian did know that in Feng Shui, copper coins have the function of resolving evil spirits, such as the Big Five Emperors Coin, the Small Five Emperors Coin, and even the more exaggerated Six Emperors Coin, even the Ten Emperors Coin, and even copper coins and swords. disaster effect.
Copper coins, with a round sky and a harmonious yin and yang, are things that gather the "three talents", which gather the prosperous emperor's spirit and the yang energy of thousands of families, and can defend against evil spirits. It is a treasure for experts. It is said that there are powerful ones among the masters and strangers, and they can even turn the world around and reverse luck with five emperors' money. Although the currency circulating in the world is not as effective as ancient coins in dispelling evil spirits, if it is blessed by the master, it is enough to protect one's body.
Yu Jinnian doesn't really believe in this kind of strange legend, but it reminds him of his previous life. There was a time when it was popular to put a banknote folded into a triangle in his wallet, because the banknotes were also handed by thousands of people, and more than a hundred Family yang energy is also blessed by the luck of a great man, and it is said that it can bless peace. I don’t know where this saying came from, but this kind of banknote... is also equivalent to the so-called Huasha money now
He thought too far away for a while, but when he came back to his senses, the white-robed monk was already very close. He walked up to the old woman and jingled a few more times.
The two of them had already stood up at this time, and originally planned to go back, so the appearance of the white-robed monk aroused Yu Jinnian's curiosity, so they dragged their feet again and watched for a while. Watching the white-robed monk walking slowly, Ji Hong felt a strange feeling in his heart, and subconsciously blocked the young man from behind.
But the white-robed monk didn't care, walked in front of Yu Jinnian and stopped slightly, shaking the lotus tin stick in his hand. This tin stick is very exquisite. The body of the stick is engraved with flower vines and vines, and the tip of the stick is inlaid with a sapphire green jade bead. If it weren't for the fact that the whole body of the stick was black and affected its beauty, Yu Jinnian could think of more words to praise it It, he stared at the monk's tin stick, and suddenly heard a "cracking" sound as he lost his mind.
Instinctively, Ji Hong dodged back for half a step before he fixed his eyes on what was falling, and was speechless for a moment.
Looking at the ground, Yu Jinnian also lost his voice for a moment, not knowing what to say.
He turned his head to look at the three or five Huasha coins in other people's hands, and then looked at the pile at his feet. Between surprise and confusion, he looked up at the white-robed monk in front of him, and asked silently with questioning eyes: Why? Everyone else's voices are "jingle", but when it's his turn, there is an overwhelming "crash" sound? Master, you are not bestowing Huasha money, this is simply a leak in the money bag, right
It's a pity that this white-robed monk covered his face with plain silk, and it's hard to see what his face is like, and whether he is hurting the "accidentally" leaked money, but just looking at his body as stable as Mount Tai, he should be mentally strong , did not faint because of distressed.
Just as Yu Jinnian was hesitating whether to find a step for the master and pick up all the money and return it to him, the white-robed monk suddenly turned his head, as if looking in Ji Hong's direction, and Yu Jinnian followed him Only then did he realize that his hand was being held by Ji Hong at some point. It wasn't that he hated being held by Ji Hong, but he simply felt that it was not respectful to hold small hands in front of monks, so he tried to Pumped out.
Unexpectedly, Ji Hong's grip was so tight that he didn't give him any room to twitch. Instead, he pulled him to his side again, looking like an old hen guarding his cubs, looking at each other with the strange monk in white robe.
Yu Jinnian felt that it was really not easy for him, the white-robed monk couldn't see his face at all, he didn't know his eyes, nose and mouth, so it was strange that he could see that the two were looking at each other.
"Heh, heh..." He laughed dryly.
The white-robed monk's sleeve moved again, and this time it was not copper coins that were thrown out, but a long piece of red rope, which coiled down on the ground like a snake, on top of the pile of copper coins that fell out earlier. Yu Jinnian thought to himself, what does this mean? Could it be that the master couldn't bear to pick up the money, so he hinted that he would string the money with a red string and return it to him
Just as Yu Jinnian was about to put this idea into practice, the white-robed monk shook the lotus tin stick to the ground, stepped forward, walked away with the sound of jingling bells, and disappeared into the mist suddenly. The bewildered teenager left it behind.
"No, what do you mean?" Yu Jinnian asked wonderingly, pointing to a pile of copper coins under his feet.
Ji Hong was not a person who was keen on money, so he didn't care about it. Even if he kept this pile of copper coins here, he would not blink his eyes. He didn't like it very much, he just said: "I don't know."
"It was given by the mage. It's not good to leave it here. You will be rewarded." Yu Jinnian is not greedy for money, but he can't just leave it alone. He really picked up the red string, carefully threaded the copper coins one by one, and put them away. Put it into the basket, "Go to the temple to donate merits someday."
Although the copper coins are nothing to look at, the red rope is still interesting. Ji Hong is also a well-informed person. This red rope is not just a single thread, but a bonded rope with a diamond knot, which can avoid disasters and protect Safety. Therefore, it was rare for him to be broad-minded, and he did not hinder Yu Jinnian from picking up the red rope, but just glanced in the direction where the white-robed monk was leaving, which was very meaningful.
The fog was all over the place, and only the outlines of the houses in the distance were hidden. The dense fog at night would often bring about a sudden drop in temperature. Yu Jinnian was shivering from the cold, so he walked back with Ji Hong.
The piece of red string given by the white-robed monk was extraordinarily long. After stringing the copper coins, there was still a long section left. Yu Jinnian felt uneasy walking on the road. He was bored playing with the red string. After a while, he didn't know what he was thinking , suddenly had the idea of tying it on Ji Hong's wrist, he thought so, and naturally he didn't show courtesy to Ji Hong, so he did it very quickly.
Ji Hong knew what he was doing, but he didn't stop him. He watched his little movements with a smile, but felt a little uncomfortable that the other end of the red thread was tied with copper coins instead of the boy himself.
After tying it up, Yu Jinnian took a few satisfied glances, the bright red rope set off the jade-white skin, it was very beautiful. He raised the basket a little higher, and Ji Hong's hand could only be raised accordingly. He walked forward and also led Ji Hong to speed up his pace, as if he was tied with a red thread, and he smiled happily for a while. stand up.
He told Ji Hong the idea of "tethering" as a joke, but he didn't notice that Ji Hong's color changed slightly because of this, and he didn't know that Ji Hong quietly reached into his basket and groped for a moment. When people walked to a narrow alley very close to a bowl of noodle shop, Yu Jinnian was thinking about what he would like to have for dinner tomorrow, when he suddenly felt the weight of the basket, and his whole body was dragged to the side by this inertia.
Yu Jinnian was slapped by Ji Hong on his shoulder, and he spun around like a spinning top in a dizzy circle, and then fell against the gray brick wall at the entrance of the alley. This guy unexpectedly untied the other end of the red rope at some point!
Seeing his surprised face, Ji Hong couldn't help laughing in a low voice: "Why are you surprised? Didn't you say you want to tie me up? Such a sum of money can't tie Ji up."
Yu Jinnian blinked and teased him, "How much will it cost to tie you up?"
"Yeah." Ji Hong pretended to think deeply for a long time, then picked up Yu Jinnian's hand and wrapped the red rope around it twice, and tied a slipknot, so that the two of them were tied together with their right hand and their left hand. , he stroked the back of the young man's hand and said, "It is priceless to be able to tie Ji Mou."
It was late at night, and there were occasional sounds of people hurrying home after burning the cold clothes on the road outside. Ji Hong's voice was deliberately lowered, appearing slightly hoarse. It was Yu Jinnian who wanted to tease him, but he was teased instead, and felt as if his heart had been stung, it was so crispy, if he still couldn't understand the meaning of Ji Hong's words, then he It's stupid, but the sweet talk of Priceless Treasure is old-fashioned and tacky...
Yu Jinnian stared at the handsome and fairy-like face in front of him, and thought about this priceless treasure, his face immediately burned up, and he thought: "It seems, it seems that it is not so vulgar..."
He couldn't help jumping down Ji Hong's pit, and got into his sweet cover. After Ji Hong rubbed his fingers for a while, he felt numb all over his body, and his eyes were glued to Ji Hong's body. , a little happy and a little embarrassed, replied to him: "Well, you... you are also a priceless treasure..."
Ji Hong felt joyful, smiled softly and tenderly, and scratched the young man's soft and slightly sweaty palms with his manicured and round nails, trying to lure him into saying even more nasty words: "Whose priceless treasure?"
Even though Yu Jinnian has always been as big-hearted as Yu Jinnian, he still feels quite cramped at this moment, and the hand that was scratched suddenly shrinks back shyly. He hopes that Ji Hong can let it go and stop entangled in this issue. Young Master Ji became stubborn, not only refused to let him go, but also moved closer to take a closer look at him.
He couldn't lift his eyes when he was looked at, and just wanted to smash the can, and just said "I—"
"Meow!"
A chubby cat jumped down from the wall, stepped on Ji Hong's shoulder and slid into Yu Jinnian's arms.
- Tinker Bell, who hadn't been seen for many days, is back!
Yu Jinnian hugged the cat happily, and was instantly distracted. He asked Dingdang for a while, but he didn't know that when he asked Dingdang what he wanted to eat, there was a man next to him who was almost stepped on and vomited blood. The ferocious eyes of the Chinese food stared at Ding Dong, as if he wanted to bring the bad cat to the pot.
The topic just now could not go on anyhow, Ji Hong was about to pick up Tinker Bell's neck with a gloomy expression, when he heard the faint sound of the white-robed monk's staff golden ring coming from a distance, the voices were threatening, and suddenly Far and near, jingling bells, I don't know if I ran into something unclean, and it seemed to be chasing something, but there was a sense of urgency.
Ji Hong instantly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say why it was bad, and he couldn't care less about flirting with the boy, so he grabbed Yu Jinnian and walked to a noodle shop, which was only ten miles away from the noodle shop. A few steps away, but in a short while, they can safely return to the noodle shop, just wait for the door to be closed, there are huge monsters and ghosts outside, and it has nothing to do with them.
"What happened?" Yu Jinnian asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Taoist figure rushed out from the alley ahead, holding a rattan box in his hand, he seemed to be a pedestrian who came out to sacrifice cold clothes at night like them, but the rattan box at the elbow of the other party belonged to a wealthy family There are as many as six or seven colorful gemstones inlaid on the handle of the case alone, and the gold foil and silver stickers on the surface of the case are too numerous to enumerate. Even in such a dense fog, the light is faintly reflected .
While running, the man howled like a lost soul, and kept throwing the colorful paper out of the rattan box, as if there was something terrible on the paper. But even though he was terrified of the thing on paper, he still coveted the valuable rattan box in his hand, and refused to throw away the box and the paper together, so there was the funny scene that Yu Jinnian saw.
Yu Jinnian had no intention of running into him, but the other party refused to look at the way, and ran wildly with his head sullen, rushing towards the two of them abruptly. Yu Jinnian and Ji Hong naturally planned to separate and dodge to the two sides at the same time, but they were pulled back by a force just half a step away, and they almost touched their heads. Only then did they realize that their hands were still tied by the red rope Together, where can we go
The frightened man ran up to them, as if he hadn't expected that there would be living people on the street in the middle of the night, and saw them tearing apart like Siamese twins, and then sticking together again , he stared ferociously, as if he was frozen, before Yu Jinnian could speak, he suddenly screamed in fright, rolled his eyes, and fell over.
"..." Yu Jinnian stretched out his foot and kicked the fainted man, wondering, "Could it be that he saw a ghost? Am I so scary?"
The man who passed out on the ground was a man, probably not too young, he was thin and thin, his face was devoid of flesh, his cheeks were sunken, as if a thin layer of flesh wrapped a skeleton, his shape made him more attractive The brocade clothes on his body are as if stolen.
Yu Jinnian bent down and took a hard look at this person, feeling that this person looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, after a while he exclaimed with a "hoo" and suddenly realized: "This is not Benefactor Yang!"
——The rich old man I saw in Fengbo Temple today, who looked like a refugee and a starving man, the "Benefactor Yang" that Master Qingxu said was worshiping Buddha in the side hall, maybe it was the one in front of him.
—
Benefactor Yang passed out in front of a bowl of noodle shop, and he didn't know how long it would last. Yu Jinnian thought it would be okay to pretend he couldn't see, otherwise what would happen if he opened the shop tomorrow, and there was a corpse standing at the door, so he mobilized Ji Hong to help him Move Master Yang into the shop.
The two dragged him in with one arm, and threw him on the floor. Ji Hong looked disgusted, and took out a white silk from his sleeve and began to wipe his hands. This benefactor Yang looked very skinny, but he didn't expect that he still had some weight. Yu Jinnian sat on the stool to rest, and shouted: "Benefactor Yang, benefactor Yang?"
Qing Huan kept an ear in the backyard, when she heard the two of them come back, she poured out two cups of water that had been warm on the stove, soaked two slices of ginger in each as Yu Jinnian had done before, and then Then he went to the front hall and brought out the hot ginger tea. Seeing them sitting in the front hall, Brother Nian was still lying on his knees with the fattened cat, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and warm up, why did you come back so late? Mr. Ji, you drink too."
Ji Hong nodded his thanks, first took off the cloak on the young man with one hand, and handed it to Qing Huan together with the basket, and then put a cup of hot ginger tea into the young man's hand. The two hands are still tied by the red rope at this time, but they also cooperate with each other very tacitly. Qing Huan saw that Brother Nian took the teacup and said something to Young Master Ji in a low voice, and then Young Master Ji smiled Bending slightly, he drank the water in his teacup next to Brother Nian's hand.
She was very envious of this move, and she couldn't help but feel an urge to find a suitable and good man to marry. It can be seen that she has met such gentle and considerate characters as the two of them. I can't see it anymore. Qing Huan naturally knew that with her own status, it was absolutely impossible for her to have a good home, and she didn't dare to have any thoughts of climbing high. She just thought that it would be better to serve in front of the two of them than to marry mediocrely. to repay the grace of saving life.
What's more, where can I find a good master like Brother Nian who never beats or scolds others
Qing Huan had already positioned herself as the maid of the two young masters in her heart. After thinking about it this way, she was determined to follow them. When she came back to her senses, she looked down at the person lying on the ground, was startled again, and said in surprise : "Isn't this Mr. Yang? Why are you sleeping here?"
"I passed out because of my fright, and I will probably wake up after a while." Yu Jinnian said gloomily, and then asked Qing Huan, "Do you know this person?"
Qing Huan spat, and said with disdain: "Who on Qingliu Street doesn't know Erye Yang, spend most of the day on Qingliu Street, anyway, either in this restaurant or in that restaurant, The same virtue as his father who is keen on seeking flowers and asking willows!" She was surprised when she said that, and wondered, "Last year, Jieer saw Second Master Yang, although he was not very strong, but he was quite strong, why did he turn his face and didn't see him? Decaying like this? If it weren't for this old face of lust and obsession, it would be unrecognizable."
Yu Jinnian suddenly remembered something, and said to Qing Huan: "Quick, quick, go pick up that gold and silver rattan box outside, and see if there are any weird things inside?"
Qing Huan ran out in a hurry, picked up the rattan box that was lying on the ground, and handed it to the two of them.
Yu Jinnian picked up the things in the box, and saw only a handful of cotton-padded colorful clothes that could not be burned in the future, two silver candles, a fire pocket, and various paper money and ingots, but nothing that could scare people Paralyzed weird and scary stuff. He pinched out a paper vessel he hadn't seen before, probably in the shape of a small bamboo strip stuck to the bottom of a disc. Some of the discs were painted with multicolored flower wheels, and there were also auspicious patterns such as painting fish crouching on lotus, and flowers blooming in four seasons. Yes, a small wooden bead is fastened to each side of the disc with a thin thread.
Qing Huan glanced at it, and said suspiciously: "This is a paper rattle, and it is usually burned when there is a baby who died young in the family."
It was indeed quite like a rattle drum, Yu Jinnian asked: "Is there a baby in Second Master Yang's family?"
Qing Huan sneered and said: "I don't know, the most worrying thing about the Yang family is that they have no heirs, and I don't know if the old master Yang committed a crime. This old master Yang took in seven aunts and only gave birth to four fathers of the Yang family. Both the uncle and the fourth master died early, but the second and third masters had no one in their house. They married, divorced, bought and paid all these years, making a lot of noise, and now even a grandchild is dead. It has already become a joke in the county before it was born... Let alone a baby who died young, I have never heard of any movement in the stomach of any wife or aunt!"
"There is such a thing." Yu Jinnian turned to play with the paper rattle in his hand, thoughtfully.
Qing Huan took a look at the multicolored clothes in the rattan box, and said, "The multicolored clothes specially made by rich people are different, and they still have a scent." Ji Hong frowned slightly, as if inspired by this, he Ming Qinghuan said: "Bring a candle."
"Master Ji, here it is." Qing Huan quickly fetched a candlestick.
Ji Hong picked up a piece of multicolored paper and brushed it over the flames several times. Yu Jinnian knew there was something good to see when he heard it, so he knelt down impatiently on the stool and waited, staring intently at the piece of paper in Ji Hong's hand , he got closer and closer, until Ji Hong flicked his head with a gentle thump, and then obediently stayed away from the flames.
The paper was slightly shrunken by baking, and there were some pictures on it. Qing Huan followed along with interest at first, until the pictures looked almost the same. She saw clearly what the pictures were, and suddenly jumped up, covering her eyes and screaming. Said: "Throw it away, throw it away! This paper was cursed by the evil ghost boy!"
Ji Hong shook the paper, and a child's face gradually emerged, but it was not an ordinary child, but a bald, hairless baby's face, with a large forehead and wide face, and two almond-shaped big black pupils, jet-black , so that there is no white in the eyes at all, and the corners of the mouth are still raised at a strange angle. The shape is exaggerated, and it really smells like a ghost.
He handed the paper to Yu Jinnian, but the other party was not only not nervous at all, but said with interest: "So I was frightened by this thing, I think it was when I was squatting on the side of the road to burn the sacrifice, I licked the paper angrily, and put this The picture shows up. Well, it's no big deal."
Seeing that Qing Huan was really scared, Ji Hong casually burned the five-colored paper with the ghost face on it. He thought that the boy would sneak into his arms because of fear, but he was a little disappointed for a while, and said in a clear voice: " Don't be afraid, it's just steganography."
Yu Jinnian also nodded his head, feeling confident that "I know a hundred such tricks".
The two of you baked a few sheets of multicolored paper one by one, and almost all of them had similar ghost faces painted on them, but some were a little ghost, and some were two little ghosts, each holding the paper and threatening them. Xixi laughed. Although Qing Huan had already heard Mr. Ji briefly talk about the "secret writing technique", he probably knew that it was a technique that dipped in liquid medicine to write, and the handwriting disappeared without a trace after drying, and it could be revealed again after being soaked in fire and water. But psychologically, I still couldn't accept those very cunning ghost boys, so I simply didn't look at them. I admired the bravery of the two young masters in my heart, and turned to look at Second Master Yang who was unconscious on the ground.
While roasting, Yu Jinnian scratched the back of Ji Hong's hand with his little finger, and said in a low voice, "Are you hungry, can I make a supper with you?"
"I'm not very hungry. It's night, so eating too much won't help." Ji Hong said coldly.
"Then I'll make you some soup and drink it when you get up tomorrow morning." Yu Jinnian touched Ji Hong's calf with his foot under the table again, "You untie this rope first, it's quite uncomfortable to keep it tied." Seeing Ji Hong Refused, he stepped on the ladder more and more to get on the shelf, hooked his little finger around Ji Hong's little finger, and complained happily, "Why are your hands so cold, I'll warm you up."
Ji Hong didn't refuse either, and their fingers were entangled under the table. Yu Jinnian thought again of the "priceless treasure" that the two of them had said ambiguously in the alley just now, and he couldn't help showing a smile that he couldn't hold back, his feet were dangling happily under the table, After repeatedly kicking the man next to him, Ji Hong took a deep look at him and said softly, "Be honest."
Yu Jinnian looked at him with a smile, stretched out his foot to rub against Ji Hong's ankle, and whispered: "Come over here, and have a private word with you."
Seeing that he was acting mysteriously, Ji Hong really thought it was some serious talk, so he leaned over a little bit. Seeing that he was so obedient, Yu Jinnian originally wanted to tease him, but changed his mind temporarily, raised his head suddenly, and gnawed On Ji Hong's mouth, he couldn't do such a thing as sticking his tongue into his mouth, so he just stuck his lips to his lips, and he didn't dare to move when they were stuck, and he retreated after nibbling like a mouse.
If you want to ask him how it feels at this time, he will probably say: It’s almost the same as being on a piece of hot tofu with your kiss, it’s soft and warm.
On the contrary, Ji Hong was stunned, but he came to his senses in an instant, stretched out his hand and grabbed the little mouse that was shyly running away, with a deep smile in his eyes, and whispered to him maliciously: " What Mr. Yu said just now, Ji did not hear clearly, so say it again."
"I didn't say anything." Yu Jinnian glanced at Qing Huan, whose back was facing them, from the corner of his eye. It's fine to do this kind of molestation secretly. But it's a big shame. Ji Hong stretched out his hand and squeezed the back of Yu Jinnian's neck, forcing him to look at him, pretending to be confused: "Then Ji repeats it again, Mr. Yu, listen to this sentence?"
As he spoke, he immediately entangled, his lips rubbed together for a long time, light sucking and slow licking for a while, there were so many tricks, compared with Yu Jinnian's sip just now, it was really not a kiss, it was just like gnawing It doesn't make any difference after taking a sip of him, it's so insignificant, it can't be put on the table at all! But this kind of private matter is not something that can be put on the table...
Yu Jinnian felt that this was really comfortable, the bones were as crisp as if they had been soaked in vinegar, anyway, it was much more comfortable than the one he made, and it seemed to be addictive. He was dizzy from being kissed, and couldn't help but want to moan a few times, but before he made any strange movements, Ji Hong bullied him to the end, and covered his mouth: "Hush down."
He suddenly came back to his senses, slapped his head face down on the table in embarrassment, and said nothing to lift it up.
Ji Hong pushed him, smiled and asked: "Did you hear clearly, is that the sentence?"
Yu Jinnian felt smoke coming out of his ears, afraid that Qing Huan would see the scene just now, so he didn't dare to lift his head up, and said angrily, "It's not this sentence, you just added fuel and vinegar!"
Ji Hong felt sweet in his heart, but his face was serious, as if he was really instructing him how to write essays and poems: "Ji just polished it up for Mr. Yu, next time Mr. Yu uses this sentence again, he will have experience gone."
Yu Jinnian thought to himself, bah, the more beautiful a person is, the more shameless he is!
At this time, Qing Huan looked back at the two of them, she didn't see the little tricks they were doing at all, and she secretly felt that the two young masters were really knowledgeable, and they were still taking the school exam so late at night, so she couldn't help admiring her a little more. She was looking at the two admiringly, when Second Master Yang kicked his foot suddenly on the ground, and she suddenly said in shock, "Brother Nian, Second Master is awake!"
Yang Cai woke up faintly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Hong looking down on him from above. He was not clear-headed, thinking that he was in some kind of brothel and Chu house again, and he couldn't help but become lustful. He wanted to get up and kiss the beauty Xiangze, Then I felt a dull pain in the back of my head, as if I drank three catties of wine, and I couldn't make waves anymore, so I cried out in pain: "Beauty, hurry up, help me up first..."
Yu Jinnian circled him around, seeing his narrow eyes staring at Ji Hong non-stop, he stomped his hand angrily, Yang Cai suddenly yelled, a zombie He sat up quite, clutching his hands and still not knowing what happened.
"Second Master Yang, are you awake?" Yu Jinnian greeted with a smile.
After being stepped on by him like this, Yang Cai finally woke up. After a moment of stunned, he finally remembered the incident of burning cold clothes and burning ghost faces. He was scared out of his wits. A monk in white robes walked in, and with a wave of the monk's hand, a circle of ghostly lights lit up around him.
The white-robed monk said that he had lost his virtue, that there was a ghost in the house, and he needed to get rid of it as soon as possible... and so on, so frightened that he turned his head and ran away before he heard the words. Later, he didn't know where he ran, it seemed, it seemed to be true I saw a pair of conjoined ghosts, and finally passed out for some reason.
Thinking of this, Yang Cai couldn't help jumping up, and shouted in surprise: "There are ghosts! There are ghosts!"
Yu Jinnian held a piece of colorful paper: "You mean this?"
"Ah!" Yang Cai yelled twice when he saw the ghost, and fell over again.
They have all seen timid people, but they have never seen such a timid as a mouse. Yang Cai lay on the ground and never woke up, and finally turned over and snored—this is really not unusual at all, but I fell asleep in a daze! The few people were speechless, they couldn't wake up seeing him alive and dead, sleeping like a dead pig, Qing Huan casually threw a blanket over him, and everyone simply went back to their respective rooms and went to sleep.
Because of one accident after another, when Yu Jinnian returned to his room after washing, it was already midnight. Ji Hong was patiently rolling up that piece of red rope and putting it in a small brocade bag. Seeing Yu Jinnian came back, he told He said: "This is the vajra rope. Even if you don't take it with you, don't throw it away. It is something that can protect safety."
The two sat down on the side of the bed one after another while talking, Ji Hong combed his hair with him, the boy was still growing, and the most prominent thing was his black hair. Because he is no longer wandering, Yu Jinnian's hair color has gradually changed from brown to black, and the place where it was slightly frizzy has become smooth now, and it looks like a handsome and unrestrained young man when it hangs on his shoulders.
Yu Jinnian touched the red string in the small brocade belt, and asked doubtfully, "What does the white-robed monk mean?"
Although Ji Hong didn't have a good impression of the white-robed monk, he had to admit at this moment: "He gave you the vajra knot, probably in the hope of your safety."
Yu Jinnian had a terrible headache, he really didn't want to think about it, he put the red string brocade bag away, and threw himself on the bed, saying: "Whatever, there are all kinds of messy things today... Okay, Ah Hong, let's go to bed soon !"
Unprepared, Ji Hong was thrown onto the bed by him, and got into the quilt sticky. Yu Jinnian originally slept facing Ji Hong, but the sound of the man's breathing was too close, and he could hear his heart beating wildly. Gu Lulu turned over, covered his face with the quilt, thinking what's wrong, he didn't feel well after sleeping together for so long, why suddenly he felt embarrassed.
He squeezed to the edge of the bed full of thoughts, and fell asleep without knowing it, with one hand stretched out of the quilt, and resting on the edge of the bed.
"I'm about to fall." Seeing that he was fast asleep, Ji Hong looked carefully at the boy's lovely sleeping face in a sweet dream for a while, then he hugged him back and tucked him in his arms again, hugging him from behind, thinking about it That "slightly embellished" kiss tonight also closed her eyes in a good mood.
Yu Jinnian is a soft ball when he falls asleep. When the weather is cold, he is used to curling himself up to sleep even though he has the physique of a stove. Perhaps because Ji Hong's arms are so comfortable, his bowed back stretches slightly. , The two hugged each other with their chests close to their backs all night.
…
Because he stayed up in the middle of the night yesterday, Yu Jinnian yawned when he woke up this morning. Seeing that Ji Hong was sleeping peacefully, he didn't wake him up. He put on his clothes and socks, pulled himself together, and ran to the kitchen to light the stove and cook. . Because there was a thick fog last night, the weather today turned cold as expected, and the dampness made people uncomfortable. There was a thin layer of moisture on the baskets and barrels placed in the courtyard. He picked it up and shook it, then took a bucket to fetch water from the well.
There were shouts on the street outside, Yu Jinnian's ears were sharp, and he heard someone hawking wild goose rice, so he hurriedly asked Qing Huan to weigh two catties and came back. He first ground the japonica rice and white glutinous rice into powder, and then took out the previous set I bought a can of ginseng powder almost bought by Mr. Luo, and half of Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos, both of which are at the end.
Not long after, Qing Huan weighed the wild goose rice back, and Yu Jinnian grabbed a handful and told her to grind it finely, while he boiled water with licorice, mint, fennel and a little sugar. Let it cool for later use, and Qinghuan's Yantou rice noodles are ready. Goose head rice is in season right now, the grains are full and round, the skin is light red, the color is white and tender, its taste is sweet and astringent, lightly sweet and fragrant, it is especially beneficial for nourishing the spleen and kidney, and is known as ginseng in water.
He mixed the above medicinal powder with ground wild goose head rice flour, japonica rice and glutinous rice flour, and then mixed it evenly with the freshly boiled sweet, minced and fennel syrup, boiled it for a while, and then put it in the drawer to steam. This cake needs some fire, if the fire is not enough, the taste will be raw, if the fire is too long, it may have the disadvantage of burning the bottom, this cake is full of good medicine, how can it be wasteful.
And what Yu Jinnian made out of these things is a kind of dessert called five-spice cake. This cake uses four gentlemen's prescriptions, namely ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and licorice. wet, and with Poria cocos and licorice as the assistant, it is a tonic that has been famous for generations. Naturally, this five-spice cake also has the same effect of invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi.
While guarding the pastry, Yu Jinnian made another golden egg.
Golden eggs sound luxurious, but in fact, there is really nothing to talk about in terms of materials. Any kind of eggs such as chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs can be made, because it is actually just a boiled egg, but there are some peculiar tricks in the method. , Yu Jinnian often wonders, how boring is the first person to make a golden egg
This egg is boring, you have to use a piece of cloth to roll up the egg to be boiled tightly, tie the two ends tightly to prevent it from falling out, and then shake it vigorously in one direction, wildly, and as you like. That's what I said, but not all eggs can be thrown successfully, probably there is some element of luck in it.
It is very interesting to shake a successful egg in this way. The interesting thing is that the eggshell is not broken, but the yellow and white in the shell have been shaken evenly, and then boiled in water for a while, and then peeled off the shell. A complete bright golden egg, Gu named it "Golden Egg", its taste is also a bit different, it is smoother than egg white, and more elastic than egg yolk.
But the most important thing is to eat it for fun. When eating, it can be cut into slices, or it can be fried with sauce and sesame seeds and served on a plate. If it is placed on a flower plate and decorated with green leaves of jade chrysanthemum, it really has a trace of grace and wealth in it.
Yu Jinnian was shaking the eggs with great pains, Qing Huan hurried over from the front shop, opened the curtain under the kitchen, stomped angrily and said, "Brother Nian, that Second Master Yang is really not a Thing, we took him to sleep for one night, and he didn’t appreciate it! I just kindly brought him a cup of hot tea, but he broke it straight away, and even arranged our noodle restaurant like that! It’s really a conscience. It's gone!"
"Qinghuan, don't be angry, tell me slowly, what's going on?"
Qing Huan was about to open her mouth when Ji Hong came out of the room and heard her yelling from afar.
Seeing that Ji Hong was going to wash up with the well water in the wooden barrel in the courtyard, Yu Jinnian hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's so early in the morning, how can you use cold water?" Then he went to pour a basin of warm water back, and gave it to him again. He took the handkerchief, and then turned to ask Qing Huan: "Go on."
Qing Huan had just had a mouthful of sulking outside, and when he returned to the yard, he was stuffed with dog food by two young masters of their family. He became even more depressed immediately, and then he even more vented his anger on the head of Second Master Yang outside, shooting bullets He complained like this: "The second master Yang just woke up and said that he was dizzy and couldn't stand up. Now he is yelling at the front, saying that our place is not clean, and he has dirty things on him!"
