Seeing his young master open the door, the coachman named Zhang first bent down and cupped his hands towards his young master, and then pointed outside with a kind smile.
"Returning to the young master, this Shanyang City is having a temple fair today. It's not far away on the street in front. You can still see some scenery over there outside the window, so in It sounds like it's very lively outside."
Hearing this, the young master suddenly raised his eyebrows and seemed to be relieved of his sleepiness. He asked with some confusion: "What kind of temple fair! It can’t be the temple fair of the Mountain God!”
The coachman Lao Zhang waved his hand and said: “Young Master is joking, the jurisdiction of the Mountain God has always been in the mountains, and the Mountain Gods are also in the mountains! Why is there a Shanshen Temple in the city? The old slave asked about it on the road and said that there is a Chenghuang Temple in Shanyang City, which is very efficacious. They are holding a temple fair for the City God. "
< br>"City God's Temple! It's efficacious! Just wait for me, I'm going to have a look too!"
After that, the young master turned around and walked quickly into the house without closing the door.
Lao Zhang then raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, gently closed the door, and stood in the room with a smile, but did not move forward anymore, but stood beside the door and waited.
As the coachman Lao Zhang entered, Xu Boan followed him and observed the scene inside the house.
The first time he saw the furnishings of this room, the word "luxury" came to Xu Bo'an's mind!
This room is indeed very luxurious. At first glance, it shows ancient charm and elegance. As soon as Xu Boan's eyes entered it, he felt an air of elegance rushing towards him.
The interior decoration is simple and luxurious, with exquisite screens, carved beds, and bronze mirrors inlaid with gems, all of which reflect its high price.
There are also things similar to celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Xu Boan just glanced at them briefly, and he felt as if he was in an elegant gathering of literati.
The bed is covered with soft and delicate silk bedding, which feels smooth and makes people want to lie down and enjoy it.
The window lattice is carved with complicated patterns. Through the gauze-like curtains, you can see the looming scenery outside the window, adding a bit of hazy beauty.
What surprised Xu Boan even more was that this room actually had an ensuite.
In addition to two rooms that are simply furnished with tables, chairs, beds and beds like a nanny's room, there is also an independent study room or living room.
The study room is neatly placed with bookshelves and desks, and is equipped with pens, inks, paper and inkstones. It is suitable for guests to splash ink here. There is a generous wooden table not far away with exquisite cups. and snacks.
The entire suite is full of the charm of ancient culture and luxury, but the simple dress of the groom is somewhat incompatible with the room.
The groom stood outside the luxurious carved railing door, standing so quietly and calmly.
Then, I saw the young master on the luxurious bed putting on his clothes in a few moments, bowing his head and tying his belt as he walked out quickly.
"Old Zhang, let's go! Let's go watch the fun."
Lao Zhang said softly and calmly: "Master, don't be anxious at this moment. I heard from people in the city that this temple fair is going to be a big one." It's been a long day. Your herbs are almost ready. It won't be too late for us to finish drinking the medicine."
The young master said with some displeasure: "What did you say? You are getting worse and worse!" You don’t listen to the greeting anymore. Are you the master or me? Who of us listens to whom?”
Lao Zhang still had a smile on his face, without any fear or anger. He said: "The young master is the master of the old slave! Naturally, the old slave listens to the young master."
The young master raised his finger angrily and pointed at Lao Zhang and said: "Then why don't you get out of the way quickly? I am in a hurry to get out." We're visiting the temple fair!"
But the coachman Lao Zhang didn't give in. He gestured for the young master to go back and said, "Master, you are feeling sick, so you'd better take some medicine first."
"You..." The young master pointed at Lao Zhang's hand and nodded up and down, and said: "Why are you so confused? Why don't you understand? The reason why I can't wait to go to the temple fair is because You told me that the City God here is efficacious.
I was wondering if we could go and ask this City God to see if he knows the mountain god of the Yushan Mountains to help us find someone! ! If it really doesn’t work, can we ask him to help me look at what’s wrong with me and see what I can do?”
The coachman Lao Zhang said seriously: “Master, what’s on your mind? , the old slave knows it, but along the way, we worship mountains when we encounter them, kowtow at temples, enter temples to offer incense, and visit temples to ask for fortune-telling. Sometimes people say that a temple in a certain place has efficacious effects, and we kneel down and worship devoutly all the way. Come in,
But in these days, we have no news about Grandpa Mountain God! On the contrary, because you have been sleeping in the open air and praying on your knees, you have been sick several times, so you finally came to the city to stay for a while. "Master, please rest well before we talk about anything else."
The young master pointed at Lao Zhang angrily and said: "You... you old man, you are so stubborn. If you hadn't been with me at my house for so long, I would have asked my father to kick you out no matter what. "
The coachman Lao Zhang looked at the young master's helpless look with a smile, and said slyly: "Hey, thank you for your love, young master. I am lucky to have such a good master like you."< br>
The young master stopped talking to Lao Zhang and strode towards the window on the side. Then he lifted the window, stood on tiptoes and leaned out to look out. Then he passed the door of the house in front of him. During the break, I saw the crowds of pedestrians on the street in front of me.
Lao Zhang, the coachman standing behind, saw the young master's movements at first. His originally stooped back seemed to straighten up three points in an instant, and his whole temperament seemed to have a new improvement in an instant. Xu Bo'an It seemed as if he had seen the scene that day in the valley, when Lao Zhang waved his riding crop with one hand and frightened away dozens of evil wolves.
What a master who hides everything!
The momentum was different for a moment. When Lao Zhang saw that his young master was not planning to jump off the building, he regained his lazy momentum.
If Xu Boan hadn't been observing carefully, he would have almost thought that he had made a mistake.
The young master only glanced outside twice, then eagerly waved to Lao Zhang behind him and said, "Lao Zhang, come and see, there are quite a lot of people over there."
Lao Zhang seems to know the young master's character. He was yelling at him just now, but now he seems to have reconciled and is no longer angry.
Lao Zhang immediately walked over and echoed his young master's words: "Yes, it is said that half of the tens of thousands of people in Shanyang City are here. I heard that the square over there is even more prosperous. , there is even a storyteller telling the story of the City God here.”
The young master asked with great interest: "Oh? What are some of your deeds? Let me hear about them?"
Old Zhang shook his head and said seriously: "I don't know, I was just buying. I didn’t tell anyone in detail when I took the medicine.”
The young master curled his lips and complained in a habitual way: “You can’t expect anything. I really don’t know what dad thinks, insisting on letting you come out with me. . Go, go, go down and get me a bowl of porridge. I'll fill my stomach first. I've had a bad appetite these past two days and I'm still feeling hungry."
"Okay, Master, old slave. Let's go." Lao Zhang stepped back and moved outside, slowly opened the door, and then left.
As soon as I walked out, I saw a waiter walking over with a porcelain bowl with a tea lid on a tray.
Seeing the coachman Lao Zhang, he hurriedly greeted: "Hello, sir, your herbs are ready. Do you want to send them in, or you?"
The waiter in the shop also said Knowing that this man was a servant of the master's family, he asked about it after meeting him.
Lao Zhang gently opened the lid, raised his hand to slightly fan the steaming lid, moved his nose slightly twice, smelled the smell of the medicine, and then closed the lid with confidence. He went back, stretched out his hand to catch the tray and said, "Just leave it to me. You can go and ask for a bowl of porridge with a plate of sour juice." The waiter handed the tray to Lao Zhang and said, "Okay. , Sir, I'll do it right away." After that, he turned and left.
Lao Zhang was not in a hurry to go in. After seeing the waiter leave, he held the tray with one hand, opened the lid of the porcelain bowl with the other hand, and then gently covered the bowl with his palm. superior.
For a moment, Xu Bo'an felt that the area around Lao Zhang's hand suddenly became very cold.
Just when Xu Bo'an thought it was his illusion, he saw the eyeballs in Lao Zhang's eyes moving around slightly, as if he was observing the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, a figure turned over from the stairwell on the side. In just a moment, Lao Zhang took his hand away and gently covered the porcelain bowl with the lid again as if nothing happened.
At that moment, Xu Boan saw the difference in the soup and medicine in the porcelain bowl.
Xu Bo'an remembered clearly that the decoction in the porcelain bowl just now was a hot decoction that had just been fried and was still steaming richly.
After Lao Zhang covered it with his hand like a lid for a while, there was almost no steaming white mist-like water vapor on the bowl of freshly fried hot soup.
Xu Boan instantly understood that this was a decoction to cool down!
Then I was surprised.
I don’t know what skill Lao Zhang used to cool down the bowl of hot soup to normal temperature in an instant!
Since coming to the world of bonsai, this is the first time Xu Bo'an has seen this kind of magical ability.
Even if we saw the fighting between the soldiers in Shanyang City before, it was within the normal range of you chasing each other, you hacking and slashing, no matter how powerful it was, it was only those warriors and fierce men who could compare with one to ten.
This is the first time Xu Boan has seen an expert with extraordinary skills!
After a while, the waiter came up again, holding a bowl of porridge and a small plate of orange juice on the tray.
Xu Boan could tell at a glance that it was sour juice squeezed from the mountains.
Xu Boan met him when he was in Kaoshan Village. It’s a special hangover medicine.
"Sir, the porridge you asked for is here!" the waiter greeted.
Lao Zhang nodded, slightly lowered the tray with the soup in his hand, and said, "Okay, just put it up for me."
"Okay!" The waiter While talking, he quickly put the porridge and sour juice on the tray in Lao Zhang's hand, turned around and left.
Lao Zhang then gently pushed the door open with his elbow, walked in slowly and said, "Master, this soup is here. You should drink it while it's hot."
This The young master did not argue with Lao Zhang anymore, but took the medicine directly, stirred it twice with a spoon, then pinched his nose and directly picked up the bowl and drank it.
Then he stuck out his tongue and put the bowl back, and said with some disgust: "Why is this medicine getting more and more bitter, and it also has a spicy taste. It makes my stomach hurt after drinking it."
The old man Zhang smiled and said: "I think the young master is a little averse to this medicine because his body is about to recover. That was when we first came to Shanyang County and the young master fell ill, and the first bowl of this medicine was taken. At that time, the young master said that this medicine is very comfortable and makes your stomach feel very comfortable, young master."
While Lao Zhang was talking, the young master had already picked up the bowl of porridge and was using a spoon to scoop it up. He drank half the bowl in one breath, then poured the small plate of sour juice into his mouth, rinsed it out, and spit it into the bowl.
"Ah! This sour juice is not pure. The effect of rinsing your mouth is terrible. What an unscrupulous businessman!" After the young master complained, Xu Bo'an realized that this rich family actually used sour juice to rinse their mouth. Come to think of it, Is it to replace the effect of brushing teeth? Simple mouthwash?
The old man asked thoughtfully: "I'll ask him again for more?"
The young master picked up the tea cup and poured some water, rinsed his mouth again and spit it out, waved his hand and said : "Okay, don't bother. It's just a two-day stay. It's not better here than in Fucheng. Let's go to the temple fair first."
Old Zhang smiled, bent down and raised his hand. He made a gesture of invitation and said: "Young master, please."
The young master then stepped out and walked out.
Soon, the master and servant arrived at the Square of the City God Temple.
After a while, he stood in front of the City God.
Then the young master asked dumbfoundedly: "Where is the temple? There is only one statue in this place."
The coachman Lao Zhang was also a little confused. He raised his hand to stop a young man who had finished offering incense and asked politely: "How dare you Ask this little brother, is this the temple fair of the Chenghuang Temple in Shanyang City? "
The young man nodded and said, "Yes, it is the temple fair of the Chenghuang Temple."
No. The solution asked: "But...where is this temple?"
The young man smiled and said: "Oh, you said this temple, there was originally a temple in this place, but later the county magistrate said it was After hearing the order from the City God, I ordered the temple to be demolished. This will bring the distance between the City God and the people closer."
Lao Zhang said with a look of realization, "That's it. I'm a little brother."
The young man returned his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks. You guys are from other places, so it would be better if you stay a little longer. Our city god is here often. The one who showed up, oh, no! It should be called the Mountain God."
When the young man said the last thing, Lao Zhang and the young master's expressions changed at the same time.
The young master couldn't wait to interrupt and asked: "What? Mountain God, isn't this the temple fair of the Chenghuang Temple? What does it have to do with the Mountain God?"
The coachman Lao Zhang is also rare. His expression became a little more serious, and his eyes were focused, staring closely at the young man's lips, as if he wanted to know the answer to the question immediately. (End of chapter)
