Chapter 403 – Wen Hua Without a Wooden Sword
Male city has the prosperity of male city, remote town also has the small town of lively. This is located in the southeast of the town of Liyang, traditionally far away from the smoke of war, if it is at the time of peace and prosperity, do not feel how, but the state and county cities and pools there are some signs of war and chaos of the people’s hearts and minds, then this place is particularly peaceful. Some of the villages near the town named after the family name, ancestor hanging paintings, can be great, the Song family village is hanging out of an emperor’s ancestor of the Song Dynasty, compared to some hanging Dafeng founding ministers or spring and autumn of the small state of the village, naturally feel to be a little bit higher. Only this Song family village’s ancestor of the illustrious, the village surnamed Wen a few family members of foreign surnames can not get light. In fact, the village elders, even if they have read a few days of books, even if carefully turned over the genealogy, but also on their own and the emperor of the Song’s origins, can not say a son of the ugly c and d. It is said that the village had a good person specially for this purpose to carry a small wooden box of genealogy, to the town of an old man in the name of a scholar public inquiry, the same can not say so, who did not think that the last was the village is recognized as the most unimproved young students! A guy named Wen, who went abroad for three years and then returned to his hometown, said that the reason why people from our village engraved the word “Yinchuan” on the head of their tombstones after their deaths had a lot to say about it, and that the Dafeng Dynasty claimed that half of the scholarly seeds came out of the county of Yinchuan, and the Yinchuan Song Clan was the first class of the great valves, which produced a lot of literati and famous scholars. The first emperor’s ancestor, it is from the Yinchuan Song’s high family branch, the origin of the Song Village, must be the side of the destruction of the power of the cut-off, in that the history of Ganluo Nandu, continue to move, and ultimately landed in the roots of this. After the young man surnamed Wen so combed some veins, the village elders more or less understand, even if they do not understand, but also pretend to understand, you listen, both Yinchuan Song and Ganluo South Ferry, this is how much grand style, see us this Song Village, although a hundred years even a child has not been, but in the end, the ancestors are rich and wealthy, and it must be a few hundred years ago, the grandparents of too much luck, the future generation! The children and grandchildren had to be quiet, is really destined to be rich and noble have no destiny. Surname Wen’s young student, originally in the village is very unpopular, not surprisingly this time crippled down to the countryside, as if he had changed, not only did not have the appearance of the hanging wooden sword, in the town of the restaurant miscellaneous, not to say that rely on the brother and sister-in-law to support the livelihood of the family, and even send money home, even more surprising is that the young man has also married a virtuous and moving daughter-in-law, before the village ancestral hall outside of the open space set up a banquet! The young woman, who is a good-looking woman, has made many young people surnamed Song, whether they are married or not, look straight in the eyes.
Wen married his wife, they no longer live in the restaurant in the room, saved some silver, they rented a small courtyard in the town, three rooms, excluding the wedding room with red paper cutouts on the windows, a small room used to put miscellaneous items, the rest of the room, but also not empty, bedding brand new, to the woman with a good sense of housekeeping to clean and spotless, because her man said, there may be a brother in the future! Come home as a guest, how all have to have a place to stay, otherwise it’s too bad, besides, let friends pay money to go to the inn restaurant to live, both foreign and wasteful, not polite. She obeyed him, and in her heart, she also felt that this is the reason. Although the family is now not generous, but the small family of her family can only be considered solid, but in fact is a woman of the atmosphere, when he insisted on marrying him, no one in the family is willing to agree to nod, and froze even the dowry did not come out, she also gritted her teeth did not ask for anything with her parents, well in the day to see the heart of the people, and now she would like to return to her mother’s home with him, although her parents will still be given some face, but a few older brothers are more or less unraveling the knots! I know that their father is not able to fall that face, but also inconvenient and that brother-in-law at home on the table big bowl of wine, but each privately have been to her yard, are not forgetting to bring wine with meat, has been like a family. She knows, when they have a child, parents hold on to the grandchildren grandchildren, then also found a step down, will be completely on him no stigma. Only a small town and then small, expenses are not small, relying on the man in the restaurant as a shopkeeper’s livelihood, two people live a fairly generous life, but once the family has a third small mouth, it is not good to say, good in her red craft is famous for the playfulness of a sister’s family to open the cloth store store, her those needle and thread sewing out of the exquisite small objects, placed on the counter to buy cloth guests as an add-on to the store business is also good for three or two minutes, so this month down, how can she be a child, and then she will find the steps to completely have no problem with him. So this month down, how she will have a two or three two broken silver into the account, is not much worse than the man in charge of the family.
Small town these two days lively, before and after the summer heat, away from the sun southeast of the area since ancient times has been the custom of the Mid-Yuan Festival, but also some of the activities of the ancestors to welcome the autumn, the Mid-Yuan Festival, although the dialect of their local dialect here is the Ghost Festival, said the King of Hell mercy, specially in this period of time to open the door of the ghosts, so that the deceased people back to their hometowns to see a see the children and grandchildren of the late generation of the sun, in order to comfort the feelings of the Yin and Yang are separated from each other. In fact, it also sounds slightly oozing just, adult children are not taboo what, only think it is a thing that can be lively, monks and Taoist priests will begin to Pudu charity, the ordinary people will also put up lanterns Artemisia put river lanterns, especially young children, can be in the arms of their parents or tiptoe propped up on the bridge railing, or lying on the river bank on the green slate, full of colorful lotus lamps, the heart of the joy of joy, not more than can eat moon cakes! The Mid-Autumn Festival is no less than the one in which you can eat mooncakes. Yesterday he went to the village to pick up his nephew back, intending to let his daughter-in-law take the child shopping, just as his daughter-in-law is dexterous, made two big bamboo baskets of river lanterns, to go to the bridge side to sell, I believe that with her craftsmanship, will soon be out of the night tour of the guests to snatch up and buy all the empty. He had watched her prepare the lanterns in the courtyard, with a wide variety of styles, flowers, birds, fish and insects, lotus, turtles and cranes, dragons and phoenixes, he really did not know how under the sky there could be such a skillful pair of hands, so he was sitting on the bench to take a cool, and anyway, can not get a hand to help can only be to help, can only be a joyful. His little nephew of the readers to the town, at first slightly formal, the daytime first to bring him to the restaurant, obediently in the corner to listen to people talking about the book, listening to the flavor, the child with his father’s temperament, introverted and thick, not much to say, as an uncle, like and worry about, like is the child’s that is really temperament, worried about is afraid of being too honest, easy to grow up later to suffer. Surname Wen’s store where the restaurant, now also counts the town a famous place, although now most of the town restaurant hired Mr. storyteller jianghu story, but only their restaurant, said the story is always the most fresh and novel, which are naturally his credit, it is what he spent a few large water tanks of saliva before he managed to persuade the restaurant boss, don’t ever begrudge Mr. teller shell out a sum of road fees to go to the county or even the state city. A sum of money for the road, so when the restaurant first said the Daxue Ping women’s martial arts alliance of one night to see the snow to understand longevity, the first to say the northwest of the Taoist ancestor of the Wudang Mountain of the Buddhist debate, said the jianghu holy land of the Wudi City of the turmoil of the change, as well as the Wu Family Sword Grave of the hundreds of riders to go to the north of the Liang, so it is described as a sensational small town, the common people’s after-dinner, all the storytellers are the restaurant to hold the nose to go, restaurant business naturally rose, but the business boomed. Business is booming, the shopkeeper of the day into the bucket of gold, but the surname Wen as a deservedly the number one merit, Mr. storyteller to the county “scripture” of the first payment of the road or he secretly paid, never opened to the restaurant shopkeeper’s request for a share of the bonus, he in addition to the restaurant guests drink high after the reward of the copper, the restaurant to pay him the wages, he entered the restaurant! The first day was how much, now is still how much, a copper has not increased. Every day, the shopkeeper stood behind the counter with a smile on his face, looking at the store assistant surnamed Wen, always attentive to running errands, looking at the young man with a lively mind to serve tea and wine every day to smile, and I don’t know what this old man is calculating in the heart.
Today, the restaurant storyteller will be spirited and spittle said a strange thing, said that we are away from the capital city of the sun a sword master named Qi Jiajie, as the city of Tai’an many dragon son and grandson and the children of the family’s sword master, I do not know why to the high water and high sword East Vietnam sword pool, to ask for casting a world-famous sword, and then the Qijiajie people to the foot of the North Rang Wudang Mountain, a more than where they are in the town of fame, a little more than the town, the sword, the sword, and the sword. Then Qi Jiajie people first to the foot of North Liang Wudang Mountain, a town that is more famous than the town where they are located, after the flying sword, a sweep of ten million miles, to the young king of the Northwest border to deliver a sword, shocking the world and weeping the ghosts and gods na, the sea of clouds opens up for ten thousand miles, the sword moves the celestials, I did not expect that the young king of the clan is even more powerful, rising up from the ground, proudly in the north of the Liang Road and the border of the two Huai Road on the cloud above the sea, but actually blocked the force of that can be chopped off the gods and immortals of the flying sword! Mr. Storyteller was talking at great length, and when he reached the sound of his speech, the old man himself was staggered, not to mention the listeners of the restaurant who borrowed the story to drink and eat, all of them were staggered and stagnant, stopping their cups and chopsticks and shaking their minds, and after they came back to their senses, the story hadn’t yet come to an end, and they hadn’t yet heard the most annoying sentence “Let’s listen to the explanation of the next episode”, so of course, they would have to ask for a pot or two of wine from the restaurant. The nephew of the shopkeeper surnamed Wen. Surnamed Wen shopkeeper’s nephew first time to listen to people talking about books, but also the first time to listen to people talking about the jianghu people jianghu things, but also dumbfounded, listening to the sky book general, sitting in the corner of the uncle to move to their own root of the small bench, clenched fists, ears, wide-eyed, only to feel that listening to the jianghu things than read the book of the sages, as if it was more interesting.
There is always the end of the story, the restaurant has to close the door, Mr. Storyteller’s end of the story, outside the building is the end of the night, the restaurant is almost to close, earn a lot of money in charge of the restaurant is probably in a good mood this day, let the cook opened a small stove, shouted on the last name of Wen’s shopkeeper and his nephew on the table together, ate a good meal. This makes the child who has never seen the world happy, but in the end is a private school read the books of the little scholar, eating quite a few points of the meaning of sitting down, and then gluttony, chopsticks are not fast, those on the table only to open the meat and fish on New Year’s Day, the child did not dare to clip a few chopsticks, but it is the restaurant owner smiled and helped the child clip a lot of rice bowls piled up, the child was a little embarrassed, timidly looking at their own! Uncle, the shopkeeper laughed and said that you can eat freely, your grandfather is the shopkeeper of the town’s great benefactor, generous very much. The child will be on the shopkeeper’s coy smile, the old man laughed, while pouring a cup of wine for himself and the shopkeeper, while pointing to the second floor with chopsticks, said to the good boy often come to the restaurant, the next time you listen to people talking about the book, grandpa to help you find a place next to the fence on the second floor patio. The old man and the shopkeeper sipped a glass of wine, joked that this child is not like you, honest and pleasing. The store assistant proudly said that is, the nature of my brother, is lucky, reading is very good, in the future may be a scholar master. The child seriously retorted that Mr. said, in the future, he can be a child student is not bad. A lifetime of the most revered readers of the old man touched the child’s head, lamented that the county test government test hospital test, are roadblocks, the shopkeeper grandfather and you put down the word here, and then each through a door, our restaurant will give you a big red packet, in case of success in the examination, the child or, Xiu Cai also, don’t forget to give us a restaurant to write a plaque, to the shopkeeper grandfather face up. The child nodded vigorously, to the old man happy to say uncle bought me some paper and pen, but now I do not want to use, or as in the past in the village stream with a branch dipped in the water to practice writing, when the cattle will be on the ground paddling, Mr. said that the stupid bird flies first, diligence can make up for the clumsiness of the time there will always be a good time to write the word, when it will be to the boss of grandpa to write a large plaque to hang up. It is probably a rare drink, when the shopkeeper’s uncle joked that it is good to read, reading is the only way to get ahead, read the guy, the future abduction of a daughter-in-law home is also easy. The nephew, who secretly likes a girl of the same age in the village, immediately turned red and glared at his uncle. The fellow surnamed Wen smiled at each other with the restaurant owner and drank and drank.
After eating, he told his nephew to go home first, he himself still had to help the tavern clean up a bit, and then meet back over on that bridge in town.
The owner of the restaurant looked at the young man who was busy cleaning up dishes, drinking wine, slightly drunken: “When I took you in, I really didn’t think there would be such a day, at that time, I just think you’re a poor kid, thinking that if you’re not pushed to the brink of extinction, you won’t have to come to my little place to eat and wait for death. Which can think of you help the restaurant to earn big money. To be honest, this year, it’s more money than the tavern made in the previous ten years.”
The young man looked up and laughed, “Good people have good rewards, shopkeeper, they should.”
The old man smiled and asked back, “Should?”
The young man wondered, “Shouldn’t I?”
The old man lamented: “Good people have good rewards this kind of reasoning, your nephew that kind of child is willing to believe is just, I’m such an old man, can really not dare to believe.”
The old man looked straight at the busy and diligent shopkeeper, “Come here to drink and eat and listen to the guests, all think you kid no temper, but I do not think, I always think you kid ……”.
The young man gagged, “The shopkeeper is trying to say that there is no talent, right?”
The old man laughed and scolded: “Put your mother’s stinking ass, I do not know how your daughter-in-law see you!”
The young man reached out and pointed to his own face, playfully said: “My parents gave me a handsome ah, the shopkeeper, you really can not envy.”
The old man waved his hand, “Don’t bullshit with you, I want to tell you something serious today.”
The young man converge smile, stand beside the wine table with hands tied, “Boss, there is something despite the open mouth, I Wen Hua this person is not a lot of success is not true, but who is good to me, I remember in my heart, do not dare to say what a drop of grace spring to repay the big words, I also do not have the ability to pay back the kindness, but to say a point of kindness to a point, even if a time is not finished, I Wen Hua how to pay back in this life. So boss, don’t be polite to me. Boss, if it wasn’t for your willingness to take me in, I’d probably be chopping wood and burning charcoal or working as a short-term laborer for some family, not to mention marrying my wife, but even if I could barely feed myself and keep from starving to death, it would be hard for me to save up the money to buy my nephew a pen and paper.”
The old man smiled, looked up and gazed at the young man with sincere eyes, put down the wine cup in his hand, “Most of the things in the restaurant to you alone, I’m the shopkeeper is very free every day, so Mr. Storyteller said that those stories of the rivers and lakes, or the talented and beautiful people and wild foxes and wonders, all listen to the ears, and some have heard it, but there are a few words, remembered in the heart of the head, and one of them, probably did not have a good time. Head, one of the sentence, probably no one cares, but I’m very attentive, called ‘since ancient times it is difficult to be generous’, the more I think about it, the more this is the truth, doing business business is so, with people to be friends is even more so. So then the restaurant’s silver money to and fro, I also rest assured that you overhand to take care of, at first I’m actually not without concern, but also do intend to see if you will therefore to their own pockets to cut off some of the big business under the sky, after all, is a one by one copper money accumulated, but I’m very surprised that, from beginning to end, your kid did not take a copper plate, the books on the clear, under the books, and also clean, it’s very It’s not easy. Mellow wine red people’s faces, money moves people’s hearts, this is the common sense of people, so ah, your kid is a generous person.”
The young man said in a deep voice, “Shopkeeper, this is a strange thing to say. For me, Wen Hua to be able to have a peaceful life today, it’s all because of the Boss’s kindness, if I were to sneak money from the restaurant with a bad conscience, I, Wen Hua, would really be something else, this kind of thing, I can’t do it!”
The old man nodded, “As you know, I’m not young anymore, and I’ve been thinking of buying a big mansion in the county to retire for the rest of my life, and it just so happens that my two pairs of daughters and sons-in-law are both making a living over there, and even though the old saying goes that a daughter who marries out is splashed out, there is no such thing as a parent who doesn’t miss their children’s good fortune. Not on the mind of my coffin money, want to let them some scenery, do not have to rent a house under the fence, I, before is the heart is not able to save the three to four hundred silver, in the county town is not bad, to the inch of gold in the county really not enough to see, this year thanks to the blessing of your Wen Hua, the old bottom doubled, small 800 silver, as long as it is not the green rabbit lane children’s alley that kind of power and wealth of the place, but also enough to buy a decent house, and just restaurants, restaurants and restaurants, the oldest and most important thing is to buy a house. Mansion, just you kid in the restaurant, I recently pondered whether the restaurant building disk to you …….”
The shopkeeper froze, smiled bitterly and said, “Old boss, such a big building, I even if I smash pots and pans, but also absolutely can not afford to buy ah.”
The old man smiled and said: “This building was worth about a hundred or eighty silver, now different days, how should be valued at three or four hundred, which you have a number in mind, of course I understand more, as for how much savings you boy, I am more aware of, so I would like to think of a compromise law, do you see the line. The restaurant to three hundred silver discount, this money do not need you rush out, after the annual dividends, do not forget on the line, but the ugly words in front, after the three hundred two purchase of the restaurant’s principal, and then later if the restaurant is still making money, the dividends, I’m the old shopkeeper, can still be your kid every year filial piety, as for the specific how much, I’m not forced to, your kid to see how to do it, in short, you take care of their own that home first. ”
The young man wanted to speak again and again.
The old man waved his hand to signal the young man to sit down, “Don’t feel indebted to me, I ah, shrewd it, know that you will certainly be able to make the restaurant business bigger and bigger, with your kid’s generosity, the annual dividend can be less? I lie in the county town mansion to enjoy the happiness, can get a sum of silver every year for free, earn a lot of money.”
The young man sat back down on the bench and straightened his waist, “Old shopkeeper, a great favor is not appreciated!”
The old man made a gesture of twirling his fingers and joked, “Don’t talk about it, rely on the silver to talk in the future.”
The young man suddenly laughed, “Old shopkeeper, aren’t you afraid that I will renege on my debt in the future, and won’t be willing to pay out the dividends once I’ve paid off the three hundred taels of silver?”
The old man raised an eyebrow, then pointed to the young man’s heart, then pointed to his own eyes, “The reason why I have this deal is because I can trust your kid’s conscience, and secondly, I can trust my own eyesight!”
The young man himself and the old shopkeeper each poured a full glass of wine and raised their glasses, “It’s all in the wine!”
The two drank it all in one go.
The old man finished his drink, “You kid hurry up and go look at your daughter-in-law, by the way, go to the back of the cupboard yourself and get a pot of the green ant wine that just came in, just as my way of celebrating that your kid finally has his own family business.”
The young man got up and laughed: “Got it!”
The old man didn’t forget to remind: “Celebration is celebration, but the money for the wine has to be put on your account! This green ants wine is not cheap, it is said that from the North Liang Road there is a pot of only two silver less than two, to the two Huai on the two silver up, and then from the Jiangnan Road to us here, tsk, a full four silver ah, which is not to sell wine, really direct sale of silver is more or less. You kid take it easy to drink, don’t drink out of flavor on the bottom.”
The young man heatedly said, “I can’t afford to drink it myself!”
The old man asked curiously, “What, are you going to give it to your brother, or to your old man?”
Straight to the counter of the young man suddenly paused for a moment, turned his head and grinned: “Neither, to my brother to keep, in the future he came to my home to dilly-dally, take this wine to entertain him. When …… quite a long time ago, I and he together to hang out when he always said that the wine under the sky, count this green ants wine has the most flavor, at that time he always like to take this gluttony me, and then separated, I once passed through his hometown alone, walking in a hurry, and did not drink, and did not figure out in the end what is the taste of the. ”
The old man did not have a good mood: “What flavor? It’s just expensive, nothing else, I don’t like to drink, too strong, too strong, burn through the throat, the aftertaste is even more powerful, in my opinion, ah, it’s really not as good as our home-brewed rice wine over here in the mouth.”
The young man smiled and said, “My brother is half of the jianghu people, horse drinking, naturally want to drink the strongest wine, drink that soft rice wine, not a hero!”
The old man was happy, “Yo, but also jianghu people, and listen to your words, you kid when you broke into the jianghu, go quite far ah?”
The young man scratched his head, “It’s just far away.”
The old man said with a blank stare, “And suffered, right!”
The young man laughed it off.
Sitting alone at the table, the old man raised his cup and drank slowly, looking away from the shopkeeper who was carefully holding the wine pot, and asked for no reason, “Wen Hua, the storyteller of our restaurant, several times said that the Northwest Clan King admitted that he had a brother who knew him in the jianghu, and your kid happened to have the same name and surname? Shouldn’t your brother, then, also have the same surname, Xu?”
The young man stood in the distance, smiling brightly, “Coincidentally, it’s still true!”
The old man laughed out loud and waved his hand, “Brat! Roll roll roll!”
The old man who no longer had any wine in his cup shook the jug, it was empty, turned his head to look at the young man walking towards the door of the restaurant, his figure was limping, just not giving a miserable or funny feeling, the old man laughed out loud in a cold manner and asked, “Wen Hua, you kid really isn’t that famous swordsman in the capital?”
The young man holding the jug of green ant wine in both hands slowly turned around and made a face, “Boss, do I look like that to you?”
The old man smiled without answering and waved his hand again.
The old shopkeeper sat back in his seat, there was no more wine in the jug or cup, the bored old man thought about it, looked at the door and laughed at himself, “It’s not quite like that, and rightly so, can it be like that?”
After the young man left the restaurant, quickly walking towards the small bridge, along the way along the river on both sides of the stream, looking out, the quiet river is full of lit river lamps, stars, like the starry night of summer. According to folklore, after death, those who have nothing to rely on the wandering ghosts, in the day of the Mid-Yuan Festival, if you can find the river lamps written with their own names, will be able to reincarnation. He listened to his brother, who was with him in the river and lake, said that the Buddhists had the method of reincarnation, especially the ghosts that could not be relieved in the netherworld, with the lotus lamp above the river in the yangwang world, they could be free. One of the guilt of his life, is with his brother and sister-in-law at home, two people can only afford a person to study, brother gave him the opportunity, but he did not love to study, and do not know how to cherish, all day long only think of chivalry, and aspire to the swords and swords of the jianghu. So now he is more than brother and sister-in-law like to read to that nephew, to the child to study well, he gave his nephew to purchase the paper and pen, are the town’s most expensive and best, he is not hoping that his nephew must be examined in the future to obtain the merit, not what to shine the family lintel, but he heart and soul that the male child to read, read a full belly of knowledge, a handful of good writing, every year, spring couplets do not have to beg for others, or later have a child, can go to their own Books for the child’s name, always is a heavenly good thing.
Sword practice, want to practice to the world’s first, the world is ultimately only one person. Harder than a fist, the jianghu always has a harder fist martial arts master. But readers read from the books of the reason, then never the emperor and generals and dignitaries speak out of the mouth of the reason, it will certainly be greater.
When he arrived at the familiar green stone bridge, his daughter-in-law had indeed finished selling two baskets of river lanterns, and his nephew was holding the last one in his hand.
She waited until he approached, and then softly asked, “Why do you want me to leave one behind? And to write the word Northern Liang?”
He smiled and said, “That Xiao Nian I told you about, he is from Northern Liang, and now that there is a war going on over there in the west, I thought I would help him pray for blessings.”
The three of them walked off the bridge together and came to the bank, he bent down and gently put that river lamp into the river water.
The three of them simply sat shoulder-to-shoulder on the bank, he rubbed his nephew’s head, letting the child help him with the jug of Green Ant Wine, and looked up and smiled at his own daughter-in-law, “In the future, if there is a chance to meet, if that guy calls out to your younger brother’s daughter-in-law, don’t say yes, and make sure to call out to your sister-in-law to do so.”
Her eyes curved and she laughed promiscuously, “You two fight over this kind of thing as well.”
He happily laughed, “Other things can not be argued, only this matter, absolutely can not give in!”
She slightly red-faced, helplessly said, “Then you still think of becoming in-laws with him in the future? You said that you had set up a doll’s marriage in the first place, and that people had agreed to it?”
He said in a bold tone, “He dared not agree?!”
His daughter-in-law smiled, for some reason, his own man does not talk about anything not caring, only when it comes to that brother of his, will be extra proud and proud.
There were times when she was even a little jealous.
She didn’t know what her man and his brother had gone through together back then to make her man so put off.
And she is clearer than anyone else, the man surnamed Wen Hua, in fact, what all can afford and what all put down, even a man should be most concerned about the face, but also from say put on put.
He looked toward the river, softly said: “daughter-in-law, you don’t worry, I’m not thinking of the river and lake that I walked back then, I’m just thinking of that brother of mine.”
Then he turned his head and grinned, “I can’t help it, I know that without me in the rivers and lakes, he is no longer good, but will also feel meaningless.”
Look, listen, there’s that tone again.
She gave him a blank look.
He grunted, “Daughter-in-law, you really don’t believe it, who am I ah, who is my brother and who is my brother ah, our brother and sister walked the jianghu back then, that is ……”
Suddenly saw his daughter-in-law look at himself with a playful smile, he immediately changed his words: “That is absolutely full of righteousness! Well, of course, is mixed a little miserable, full of a meal hungry three times.”
She pursed her lips.
He looked down and said to his nephew, “That cheap uncle of yours always likes to recite a poem, I’ll say it to you, have you seen it in a book? The sun rises from Fusang a zhang high, all things on earth are as fine as hair. A wild man’s anger at injustice wears out his chest with a sword of ten thousand years.”
The child who had only been educated in the village school was naturally confused and shook his head vigorously.
He re-lifted his head and gazed blankly at the sparkling water filled with river lamps, the breeze brushing his face, his face serene.
As if talking to himself, he said, “The green ant wine will be kept for you, and the house will be left empty for you, Xiaonian, if you still consider me a brother, don’t die outside the Liangzhou Pass.”
