Xu Bo'an was very confused about Chen Shishi's answer.
Even ordinary farmers know this story, but Chen Shishi, an courtesan who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, knows nothing about it. Isn’t it a bit too well-deserved?
Xu Boan couldn't understand this at all.
However, when Xu Boan was surprised when Chen Shishi asked what "Journey to the West" was, he casually replied: "I just don't know. This "Journey to the West" is a story. To put it simply, it is about a monk. The story of taking a monkey and a pig to the West to learn scriptures!”
Xu Boan’s answer was very perfunctory, but Chen Shishi’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said: “Grandpa Shan Shen, are you talking about Tang Dynasty? The story of Master Tripitaka, the Great Sage Sun Wukong, his four masters and his disciples, and White Dragon Horse going through tribulations to go to the West to learn scriptures? "
Xu Bo'an was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little confused for a moment, and he subconsciously responded. Said: "Yes, it's this story. Do you know?"
Hearing Chen Shishi's words, Xu Boyan became even more confused.
What does it mean? Don’t you know it clearly? Why did you say you don’t know just now?
Chen Shishi said with sudden realization: "Forgive me, Grandpa Mountain God, it's because the little girl is too talented and ignorant. It's true that the little girl knows this story, but the name of this story is not "Journey to the West", but "Tang Dynasty". "Sanzang's Journey to the West".
That's why the little girl didn't react for a moment, so she answered the question of Grandpa Mountain God by mistake. She was not quick enough to understand what Grandpa Mountain God meant. She is really ashamed. "
"The Legend of Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West"?
Nothing wrong.
Xu Boan also knows this name. The professor taught it in an elective course when I was in college.
This is the original name of "Journey to the West"!
It was only in the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty that the "Journey to the West" with newly engraved official inscriptions published by Shidetang became widely known at that time, so "Journey to the West" gradually came into being. This simplifies the name.
And as time goes by, the easy-to-understand and simple name "Journey to the West" is accepted by everyone. On the contrary, not many people know the original name of "Tang San Zang Journey to the West" .
Thinking of this, Xu Boyan's thoughts moved slightly.
It can be seen from this incident that people in the bonsai world knew the version of the story "Journey to the West" probably before the publication of "Journey to the West" with newly engraved official large characters in the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty. !
In other words, at that time, there were already people who could communicate with the bonsai world, and then the story of "Journey to the West" was introduced into the bonsai world.
But what happened to that person later?
But Xu Boan didn't know.
But to put it this way, the communication between the bonsai world and the real world has been around for some years.
Perhaps some customs and culture in the bonsai world have also been spread bit by bit.
To be honest, this bonsai is like a family heirloom. One pot has been passed down for hundreds of generations, and the pot is still there after everyone passes away.
I just don’t know why, but this thing has somehow come into my hands now.
Xu Boan suddenly remembered that when the villagers in Kaoshan Village first moved here, they heard Li Laosan say that he heard in the city that Mr. Shu told the story of Huaguo Mountain. Now that he thinks about it, at that time I had neglected this issue.
Xu Bo'an thought for a moment and then asked: "How long has this story "The Legend of Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West" appeared? Is it a story created by people from your Da Jing Dynasty?"
< br>Chen Shishi shook her head and said: "It makes Grandpa Mountain God laugh. The little girl doesn't know these things. She just heard that "Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West" is a very old story. Where did this story come from? I don’t know, but in short, almost all storytellers and traveling salesmen know this story.”
Xu Boan gave up when he saw that he couldn’t find any valuable information.
After reclaiming a large area of forest land in the bonsai, Xu Boan put away the trowel and gave up.
Because it was the weekend, there were no people in the company except for the people on duty, and there was no important work.
Seeing that most of the day had passed, Xu Boan came out of the company and headed towards Dongjiang Second Hospital.
After Xu Boan heard Chen Pingping talk about Tang Xiaorou's experience several times, Xu Boan wanted to see him.
If nothing else, Tang Xiaotong was his secretary after all. His subordinate's family member was sick and hospitalized. As a leader, it was appropriate for him to go and visit and express his condolences.
Soon, Xu Boan drove to Dongjiang Second Hospital.
After parking the car, Xu Boan did not go in immediately. Instead, he first went to a row of shops opposite the hospital and bought some flowers and fruit baskets before carrying them into the hospital.
While walking, Xu Boan took out his phone and dialed Tang Xiaotong, and the call was quickly connected.
"Hello, Mr. Xu. Sorry, I have been delayed in work during this period." Tang Xiaotong said with a guilty conscience after receiving Xu Bo'an's call.
Xu Bo'an comforted Tang Xiaotong disapprovingly and said: "Well, it's nothing. I called to ask which ward your family is in. I happened to pass by here. I went in to visit your family."
Although Dongjiang No. 2 Construction has a tradition of condolences to employees, it is obviously inappropriate for Xu Bo'an to come here alone. Usually a few people from the same company come with condolences, and there are special photographers to follow.
However, Xu Bo'an came alone for the sake of the Tang sisters and the family scandal that should not be made public.
However, in order to prevent Tang Xiaotong from being overly concerned, Xu Bo'an simply said that he was just passing by, lest Tang Xiaotong think that Xu Bo'an was being courteous for nothing, so what the hell!
Although Xu Bo'an also knew Tang Xiaotong's sister Tang Xiaorou, after all, he came here to see Tang Xiaotong's family, so it was most appropriate to choose to communicate with Tang Xiaotong.
Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Tang Xiaotong was very excited: "Mr. Xu, this...how can you be so embarrassed? I asked for leave for several days, and you were very kind by not criticizing me. How can I do it again? I'm sorry to bother you and come back again."
Xu Bo'an said softly: "It doesn't matter, it's just a way. I've already come over and I'm in the hospital building now. Just tell me the room number of the ward. "
Hearing what Xu Bo'an said, Tang Xiaotong could no longer be polite and immediately told Xu Bo'an the ward number.
After confirming the location of the ward, Xu Boan searched all the way there.
As soon as he walked outside the ward door, he saw Tang Xiaotong already waiting outside.
Seeing Xu Bo'an coming over, Tang Xiaotong hurriedly came up to him, looking at Xu Bo'an with burning eyes, and said with a moved expression: "Mr. Xu, thank you so much, I don't even know what to say. What's better?"
Xu Bo'an handed over the things in his hand with a smile and said softly: "Okay, don't feel pressured, who can be fine?"
< br>
Tang Xiaotong took the fruit and flower baskets handed over by Xu Bo'an, and then led Xu Bo'an into the ward behind him.
This ward is not a single room, but a triple room with three beds.
It’s just that the two sisters were pretty lucky. There happened to be only one patient living in the room, Tang Xiaorou.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Boan noticed Tang Xiaorou lying on the hospital bed by the window. Tang Xiaorou was half-lying on the blue-striped hospital bed. She seemed to be thinner than before, making her look more petite and exquisite.
Her slender, soft hair was scattered on the bed sheets, her face was a little pale, and her lips lacked blood, but she still maintained that elegant and demure temperament, and her eyes were still clear and bright.
Seeing Xu Boan walk in, Tang Xiaorou on the hospital bed looked into her eyes, and her clear eyes suddenly widened.
Tang Xiaorou looked at Xu Boyan in surprise. Before she could speak, her sister Tang Xiaotong introduced: "Sister, this is our leader I just told you, Mr. Xu."
After introducing the leaders of his company to his sister, Tang Xiaotong looked at Xu Boyan politely and continued to introduce: "Mr. Xu, this is my sister. Her name is Tang Xiaorou, and she is currently engaged in the real estate sales industry."
Tang Xiaotong Just after the introduction, Tang Xiaorou said in surprise: "This... is really you, Boss Xu."
Xu Bo'an nodded with a smile. Although he had already known about the relationship between the two of them, the way he knew it was a bit embarrassing, and he couldn't say it openly in the series of photos.
It will damage your image as a leader, and it will be embarrassing to talk about it.
Xu Bo'an nodded solemnly and said, "It's me. I really didn't expect that the world is so small."
"Yes, this shows that you and I are so destined." See Xu Bo'an's Tang Xiaorou is obviously in a good mood.
Tang Xiaotong opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at the two people with incredible eyes, and exclaimed: "You two know each other!"
Xu Bo'an nodded, Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Yes, we know each other! What a coincidence."
Tang Xiaorou explained directly to her sister: "Boss Xu is my client, and he was in my hands before." I bought a villa, but I didn’t expect that Boss Xu would be your boss.”
Tang Xiaotong suddenly blinked and thought of what his sister had told him a few days ago when he was selling the house. A high-quality male customer with good temperament, it seems that this person is Xu Bo'an.
After all, selling villas is not like selling ordinary houses. Let alone a month, it is not easy to sell one or two houses a year. It can be regarded as half a year without opening, and half a year of business.
My sister has only sold one villa recently, so naturally the customer is Xu Bo'an.
Thinking again that he had planned to introduce his young and rich boss to his sister, Tang Xiaotong felt that this was a wonderful coincidence.
Tang Xiaotong continued with a smile: "This is indeed a coincidence. Mr. Xu, please sit down quickly and let me peel an apple for you."
Xu Boyan waved his hand and said : "There's no need to greet me. There's no need to see anyone else. Taking care of the sick is better than anything else."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange voice coming from outside the door.
"Hey, I said my wings have become stiff recently. It turns out that I fell in love with a pretty girl. We are not divorced yet. You have even chosen a spare tire. You are also taking care of me!"
< br>Xu Boan looked deeply and saw a man wearing a leather jacket and a gold chain walking in from outside.
The leather jacket on the man seems to be a bit ill-fitting. The tight-fitting style highlights his withered figure. The thick dark circles under his eyes and chapped lips can tell at a glance that this guy is living a very bad life.
Tang Xiaorou on the hospital bed was very excited when she saw the person coming.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here, or I'll call the police." Tang Xiaorou angrily scolded the visitor, raising her hand and pointing to the door.
This man dressed like a gangster continued to walk in disapprovingly. He glanced at Xu Boan with a playful look on his face, then looked at Tang Xiaorou and said, "What? Are you nervous because I broke up the affair?"< br>
Tang Xiaorou shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense there. Get out of here. Otherwise I'll call the police."
The man didn't take it seriously and said indifferently: "Call the police? You call the police! I came to see my lover who is sick and hospitalized. Why do you want me to go out? Even if I want to go out, it should be this pretty boy who goes out."
The man pointed at Xu Boan and glanced at him coldly.
Hearing this, Xu Boan didn’t know whether to be angry or happy.
Are you angry? But people call me pretty boy.
This is not only a compliment to my youthful appearance, but also a compliment to my appearance. Xu Boan hasn't heard such praise for a long time.
Seeing the man approaching Xu Boan again, Tang Xiaotong took the first step and stopped in front of the man.
"What are you going to do? Get out! My sister has already made it very clear." Tang Xiaotong looked at the visitor with a cold face,
The man's eyes rolled around and he looked up and down. Looking at Tang Xiaotong, he said: "Hey, isn't this my beautiful sister-in-law! You are so rude, you don't even know to call out to your brother-in-law when you see him. They say that sister-in-law is the caring little cotton-padded jacket of brother-in-law. What you are doing is wrong. "
Tang Xiaotong gritted his teeth and said: "Liu, I have consulted the doctor. According to my sister's current injury, if you are to be held responsible, you will inevitably be put in jail. You'd better be sensible. Son, don’t force us!”
The man still looked disapproving and said in a teasing tone: "Hey, hold me accountable? Why do you hold me accountable? My wife was injured, and I feel sadder than anyone else. You little girl won't call me Forget it, brother-in-law, why don't you tell the difference?"
Tang Xiaorou shouted angrily: "Don't show mercy here, you know how my sister was hurt."
The man spread his hands and said ruthlessly: "I don't know. There is no surveillance or anything in that place. I really can't explain this matter."
It turns out that this is the reason why he is so confident. .
Tang Xiaorou took a deep breath, tried to keep her words as smooth as possible, and interjected: "Go away, I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore."
The man nodded, raised his hand and rubbed it Rubbing his fingers, he said: "Okay? It's okay to let me go. But you have to give me some money for the loss of my youth over the years."
"What did you say? You are the only one who wants to get up and lose your youth. Where is Fei? Don’t you think you are shameless?”
Tang Xiaotong stared at this man closely, unable to believe that a person could be so shameless.
The man still looked indifferent and said: "Well, I have said everything I should say anyway. If you don't want to talk about divorce, let's take it slow. Take a look. Who among us can consume the other."
"You are not only shameless, but also despicable." Tang Xiaotong even regretted it. He should have learned some skills of swearing earlier, and he would not be so lacking in language at this moment. .
The man dug into his messy hair and said nonchalantly: "Whatever you say, I still say what I said. If you want a quick divorce, you have to compensate me for the loss of my youth. That's it. Think about it carefully."
Xu Bo'an was watching this farce coldly, looking at this man coldly, and suddenly said: "Hey, you guy, if you are still sick, If there is a cure, why would you break it like this?" (End of Chapter)
