Mo Chen said: "Junior Brother, they haven't seen it before, they think it's new."
Li Fulin wiped his mouth: "What's so fresh about this? By the way, I'll cut some more meat tomorrow, and add a few catties of wine. I have guests coming tomorrow."
Is it as simple as sweeping the guests? Sauce meat with soju
Jiang Fan thinks it should be richer? Anyway, there are quite a lot of wine and food sellers in Beifu City, and it's not like they don't have money, so they can get a table ready-made.
Li Fulin was happy.
Jiang Fan didn't know who to follow with his temper. It was obvious that Li Fulin himself was a very willful person. Of course, he felt that he was free and easy, out of the ordinary, out of the ordinary. But the child Jiang Fan was clearly raised by him, but he behaved like an old master. Although prudence and honesty are good qualities, sometimes Li Fulin still felt that his apprentice was a bit pedantic...
"Don't be so troublesome." Linglong waved her hand, probably because of her similar age and growing up together, Linglong especially likes to pick Jiang Fan's thorns: "Master's guest must also be a senior person, and it must not be for the sake of food and drink. I want to come."
Jiang Fan was very breathless.
How do you say it seems that he has a lot of appetite? He obviously felt that the treatment of guests should not be simple, even if the whole table of ready-made food and drink did not enter his stomach.
Xiaodong found out that senior brother Jiang was angry with senior sister Linglong again, and felt sympathy for him.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Jiang is not a narrow-minded person, and he will forget about it after a while if he is angry for a long time.
The day before went out for a stroll, and the next day Xiaodong stayed in the house practicing kung fu honestly. On the day I first moved in, I always felt that there was a cold damp in the house, and there was also a smell like rotten wood.
At that time, the senior brother comforted him and said that an old house that has not been lived in for a long time is like this.
But after staying for two days, the smell seemed to disappear, and the room became popular again. The fragrance of the ink left by the big brother grinding ink for writing, the sweet fragrance of the snacks brought back, and the dampness after cooking tea seem to have been roasted by charcoal fire and disappeared. Books were placed on the shelves, and bedding was placed on the couch. Even in the empty west room, after placing an incense burner and two cattail trays, there was no sense of emptiness, and it became a decent quiet room.
Xiaodong also hung the painting that Ning Yu gave him on the wall of the quiet room, the light gray wall against the slightly yellowed painting paper was unexpectedly suitable.
Beifu City is completely different from Central Plains, Xiaodong was stunned when he opened the window early in the morning.
"Big brother, it's snowing."
The snow was not too heavy, and it was falling one after another, and the ground of the blue bricks had been covered with a thin layer, as if a layer of hoarfrost had condensed.
Xiaodong's breath turned into clouds of white mist.
Before going out, Mo Chen told him: "Wear thickly, don't drink cold tea."
Xiaodong nodded obediently in agreement.
Eldest brother is going to Master's yard, because Master has a visitor today.
The master didn't say who came, but it should be like the sword idiot Senior Liu who came to visit before, or a senior expert like Hu Zhenren, the fortune teller of Tianji Mountain.
After a long time, the snow gradually became tighter. Xiaodong grabbed a handful of snow on the window sill and squeezed it into two palm-sized snowmen.
His hands are clumsy, and the snowman he made has only a rough shape. It has a head and a body, and it can be seen that it is a human shape. No matter how detailed it is, he can't do it.
Even though only two black bean eyes were placed on the snowman, and no other facial features were included, Xiaodong still thought that the white snowman with black eyes was very handsome.
Well, the big one is like the big brother, and the small one is me.
He wanted to bring the snowmen into the house, but he was afraid they would melt. But he was a little bit reluctant to put them outside alone.
How deserted it is outside.
In the end, Xiaodong swept away a piece of snow from the window sill, and put the two snowmen on the window sill, making them stand side by side. After putting it away for a while, he felt that something was missing again, so he took out the blue-gray cloth handkerchief that the elder brother often used, and wrapped it around the two snowmen, as if wearing a big cloak.
Still feeling inadequate, Xiaodong took out another piece of cardboard, folded a domed umbrella, and covered them.
That's it.
He had a great time playing with the snowman alone.
The two snowmen stood on the window sill wearing a big cloak and holding a paper umbrella. They looked very affectionate, and they were not lonely at all, nor would they be frozen.
Just after finishing dressing up the snowman, Mo Chen came back.
Xiaodong didn't know why he felt a little guilty for no reason, so he quietly moved his body to avoid letting his brother see the two unseemly snowmen he made.
"Brother? Why are you back?"
Mo Chen didn't seem to notice his small movements: "Master asked you to go there."
"Ah? Has the guest left?"
"not yet."
That is to ask him to visit the senior
Xiaodong suddenly couldn't care about his little snowman: "Did you just call me? Did you call anyone else?"
"I only ask you to go." Mo Chen explained: "You are the youngest. The master mentioned that he has accepted a new apprentice, so he asked you to go over."
Xiaodong hurriedly lowered his head to look at his attire.
The robe he is wearing now is still the senior brother's old clothes. Although it is old clothes, it is neat and elegant, and a thick fur collar is wrapped around his neck as the Romans do.
It's just that the sleeves got a little wet from playing with the snow just now, but that's not a problem.
"Okay, this one is fine, I won't be rude."
Xiaodong followed Mo Chen out.
He lowered his head and wanted to fold in the wet spot on his sleeve, but he didn't notice that Mo Chen turned his head and glanced in the direction of the window when he was leaving the courtyard, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
Before entering Master's courtyard, Xiaodong heard Master's laughter.
Speaking of this yard, Xiaodong also came in to help when cleaning the yard the day before yesterday. This courtyard is not big, and the location is not the best. It stands to reason that Master should live in a more spacious and dignified place.
But this courtyard was chosen by the master himself, and he said he would live here.
Xiaodong was still a little puzzled at the time, but then he heard another voice in the room talking.
"This yard is still the same, it hasn't changed at all. Didn't there used to be a big tank under the window? I remember there were lotus flowers and fish in the tank."
Li Fulin replied lazily: "Now the tank is still there, but the flowers and fish are gone."
So this is where Master lived before
Xiaodong really didn't think about it.
Because this courtyard looks far away from the main courtyard, small and remote.
If Master lived in such a courtyard in the family before, then his life at home might not have been so smooth, right
Mo Chen led Xiaodong into the courtyard gate.
Xiaodong saw the appearance of the visitor.
how to say
This guest looked older than the master, because his hair and beard were white, he was wearing a dark gray robe, and his face was thin. He must have looked good when he was young. Hua's senior looks like an expert.
He saw Xiaodong who followed Mo Chen in, and asked with a smile, "Is this your new apprentice?"
Li Fulin waved to Xiaodong, signaling him to come over.
"Come and meet City Lord Song."
Song, the city lord
Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and forgot to greet people.
Fortunately, City Lord Song didn't mind, and said with a smile, "What's the name of City Lord? It's too outlandish. I'm a little older than your master, just call me uncle."
Is this City Lord Song the same as the City Lord Song they were talking about two days ago
If it was one, why didn't Master mention that he and the city lord were so close before
If it wasn't for one person, then...that was too coincidental, even Xiaodong couldn't believe it.
How come there are so many cities, and the lords of the cities are all surnamed Song
Uncle, he can't say it out loud, so let's do what Master said, and call him City Lord Song.
"Well, your luck is outrageous. Others have tried their best to travel all over the world but they can't find a good apprentice. You can take in good quality students casually."
Xiaodong was a little embarrassed to be praised as a "beautiful material".
He is also considered good? Obviously, the master took him in because of favors. His talent in cultivating the Tao is very poor, and the elder brother had to take great pains to recuperate him. City Lord Song is simply talking nonsense with his eyes wide open. It's too fake to praise people like that.
Li Fulin smiled proudly: "I don't dare to boast about other things, but these children are indeed good. I plan to accept another one this year, and you won't be able to save your gift later."
City Lord Song said: "Oh, you have so many apprentices, why can't you assign me one?"
The apprentice that the master said to be recruited should be Senior Brother Zhai, right
Xiaodong was also happy for Senior Sister Linglong and Senior Brother Zhai.
Although Senior Brother Zhai is an outer disciple now, Senior Senior Brother and the others do not hide their advice from him. But with this name, the meaning is different.
Sister must be happy.
Not to mention Senior Brother Zhai.
There is another reason for Xiaodong's joy.
After Chen Jingzhi ran away, although the master didn't say anything, there must be a lump in his heart. The master is always sincere to his apprentices, but Chen Jingzhi didn't think of the teacher's kindness at all. Xiaodong was worried that Master could not let go of this.
But now that the master said that he is going to accept another direct disciple, it should be because he has taken this matter aside and put it down, right
Of course, in the future, Chen Jingzhi will still be responsible for betraying the master, as long as the master is not disturbed by this matter, it will be fine.
that is…
Xiaodong began to think about another matter.
Generally, sects are ranked according to the entry theory. Among the outer disciples, there are many who are older than the big brother, and they still have to obediently respect Mo Chen and call him big brother.
It has never happened before in Huiliu Mountain that an outer disciple turned into a direct disciple. Zhai Wenhui is older than Xiaodong, even older than Linglong. If he becomes a direct disciple, in terms of ranking, will he be above or below Xiaodong? Woolen cloth
Xiaodong herself is willing to call him Senior Brother.
But Xiaodong wants to change his tune, does Jiang Fan want to change his tune? Does Linglong change her mind
If everyone doesn't change, let Xiaodong call Zhai Wenhui his junior...he really can't do it.
City Lord Song said to Li Fulin: "There are more and more people coming to the city in the past few days, fish and dragons are mixed together, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Do you want to bring your disciples to live with me?"
Li Fulin waved his hand: "Pull it down quickly. I don't know how many eyes are staring at you right now. As soon as I move in, I will become the target of public criticism, and the trouble will be even worse. If you want to miss me, come and sit with me, let's warm some wine." Just talk and talk."
