Great Sui Guoshi

"Yes."

Min Changwen bowed back and let out a heavy breath.

"It's fine if it's Lu Liangsheng..."

Ahead, above the Dragon Court, the emperor resumed his previous words.

"...But this person is a wild crane, unwilling to enter the court as an official, and I have to reward him, so I will give him a title and bring a pen!"

Two eunuchs stepped forward with their heads bowed, holding paper, inkstone, brush and ink, and two guards pulled a roll of painting and unfolded it in front of the emperor. Yang Jian took the brush and ink handed over, and wrote several large characters on it stroke by stroke.

——Swinging demons and spirits reveal real people.

Putting down the last stroke, he waved his hand: "Bring my jade seal."

Then, it was covered heavily, and a seal was printed in the lower right corner.

Chapter 276 Cui Yu

The slightly yellow autumn leaves whirled and floated to the streets of Gaoling County, and then they were pressed to the ground by passing footsteps and car shafts. The autumn sun was bright and sunny. Lu Liangsheng came here with his old donkey and turned his head to look at a restaurant not far away. Shop, patted the donkey's head, let it wait in place.

At the door of the shop with the flags hanging, the shop guy was holding a dustpan to sift the candied fruit crumbs. When he saw the scholar in Tsing Yi come in, he greeted him with a smile.

"Guest officer, what do you want to buy? Come in and have a look, come in and have a look!"

He took the dustpan and welcomed the person in, shouted "It's the shopkeeper!" and then went to the side to put the things down.

There is a large lacquered round table in the middle of the store. On the table are several plates of preserved fruits and snacks, which are exquisitely arranged as patterns, which are quite eye-catching. Simple name.

The guy waiting at the side pointed to a dim sum that Lu Liangsheng had just seen, and turned over the paper hanging on one side.

"Hold on, this is jujube paste. Pastry noodles are used as the skin and black date paste is stuffed. It was made by the chef with all his strength. It is very chewy after deep-frying. Here is another piece to try. If you don't believe me, try it."

The guy was quite enthusiastic, and Lu Liangsheng couldn't refuse. He took a sip and chewed it lightly. It had the meaty taste of lard and the sweetness of dates. The chewiness was indeed as he said, tenacious.

"Pack a plate and take it away for me."

"Come on!" The clerk hurriedly wrote it down, and didn't leave, and led Lu Liangsheng to look at other desserts and preserved fruits, "Your accent is from the south, right? You might as well try our famous bean curd in Gaoling County. Don't worry, my lord. The sugar is absolutely clean, and there are biscuits, the stuffing inside is cheese, just made this morning, keep it fresh."

"That's fine, one of each of these two."

"Okay, let's have a portion of bean curd and cake."

The clerk yelled at the door, and went to the back hall. The shopkeeper came out to settle the bill with Lu Liangsheng. When weighing the broken silver, Lu Liangsheng asked something casually.

"Is there a Cui family in your county?"

The shopkeeper who weighed the broken silver found some spare money and put it in a bag, and handed it to the scholar. He touched the tip of his beard with a big, round face smiling.

"My lord, there are quite a few people surnamed Cui in this county, how can I answer this?"

Lu Liangsheng nodded, that's true, there are at least dozens of people with the same surname in a city, and there are as many as a hundred people, not to mention that it's not that rare surname, just as he was about to take a few packets of snacks from the clerk who came out of the inner hall, he suddenly thought of that Zhou Yu, the city god of Japan, said something that is old and good.

Then he asked the shopkeeper again: "Is there an old and successful family surnamed Cui in that city?"

Cui's surname is also an old man, so the scope is naturally narrowed down a lot. When the shopkeeper put down the account book and frowned, a guy with snacks came up and whispered.

"The shopkeeper, there is such a family who often come to our shop to buy dim sum."

As soon as I mentioned it, the round-faced shopkeeper immediately remembered it and nodded to Lu Liangsheng.

"My lord, there is indeed a family. That family moved from Gucheng County. The family is well-off. They often come to visit my shop. Speaking of which, Cui Gong only had a son when he was fifty, which is considered a rare thing."

"Can the shopkeeper tell you where the Cui family is located in the city?"

"No, no, no, I'm a businessman. I can't tell the truth about old customers. If you want to ask, you should go elsewhere."

"Hehe, I'm bothering you."

Lu Liangsheng wasn't angry either. It was a good thing for this businessman to keep his customers' addresses a secret. He took the snacks, cupped his hands and left.

Gaoling County is close to Chang'an, with a prosperous population. The intertwined streets and alleys are much larger than Fushui County. The high and low buildings, the restaurants and teahouses with flags and banners are noisy, and the old donkey is walking through a lively long street. , just in time to see the Taoist coming out of a brothel, smiling and waving at a bustard, and seeing Lu Liangsheng standing across the street, he hurried over.

"I found it, and I'll give you the address."

"Qinglou?"

"Hey, this kind of fireworks place, as long as you make money, you don't know what news."

The Taoist made a 'cut' sound, and wrote down the address of Cui's family that he had inquired about on the note. The latter took it and looked at it, and said, "Go together?"

Sun Yingxian shrugged her shoulders, put her hands on the back of her head, turned around and walked to the bustling street, and waved back the hands resting on her head.

"No, what's so interesting about that old pedant, even if he is reincarnated as a child, it's even more boring, I'm going to wander around."

"Don't go to the brothel."

A word of caution to the Taoist, Lu Liangsheng walked in another direction, walked through the bustling long street, the hustle and bustle gradually subsided, according to the address the Taoist inquired, the past direction was a row of independent courtyards, the teacher was reincarnated into Cui's family, and his life Father Cui Rang is a kind and charitable person, but unfortunately he has met half a hundred and has no heirs. Later, he prayed to Mount Tai, and the old wife became pregnant. Although there are exaggerated elements in it, but those are not important, as long as the teacher is really here.

Walking through the streets paved with blue bricks, a few old pine branches and leaves protrude from the long courtyard walls. The autumn sunlight passes through the tree gaps and shines mottled on the blue bricks and stone steps in front of the courtyard, which looks quiet and simple.

'This is it. '

Lu Liangsheng looked up at the courtyard door, where the word 'Cui's house' was written, he let go of the rein without knocking on the door, and walked straight through the closed courtyard door in a vague figure.

The old porter was sitting on the bench behind the door, shaking his head and humming an opera softly. When a gust of wind blew up, he was jolted, his eyes dazzled, as if something had passed by, and he looked around, but there was no abnormality.

"It's weird, it obviously feels like there's something..."

Frowning and muttering, he walked back to the concierge, and along the courtyard path leading to the front yard, Lu Liangsheng was also looking at the house, with potted old trees, a Fengshui screen, passing through the front yard, and a pavilion and small building. , the whole house looks extremely exquisite.

"Young master..."

Hearing the maid's voice, Lu Liangsheng stopped in his tracks. Not far away was a crescent gate. Two maids ran with paper kites, laughing and jogging. Looking at the low-flying paper kite floating in mid-air, she smiled nicely.

The little man who was chasing after him stopped suddenly, as if he felt someone watching him, he turned his head to look at the Crescent Gate.

A scholar in Tsing Yi and white robe stood there with gentle eyes, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, walked in and sat down on the stone steps under the eaves.

"Who are you?" The child blinked suspiciously. He knew all the servants, relatives and friends in the courtyard, and had never seen this strange scholar before. "But the gentleman invited by my father?"

Under the eaves, Lu Liangsheng smiled and shook his head, just sat on the stone steps and looked at the child, as if in the small courtyard in Fushui County, his mentor stood under the camphor tree and looked at him with a book in his hand.

"What's your name?" Lu Liangsheng suddenly asked as the wind rustled the branches in the courtyard.

"Why should I tell you."

The child is like a little adult, with his arms crossed on his chest and his chin raised: "You say it first, and I will say it."

"me?"

Lu Liangsheng smiled, and then replied: "My name is Lu Liangsheng. I'm from the south. I passed by here to visit an old friend."

"My name is Cui Yu!"

The child is not afraid of him, on the contrary, there is an inexplicable sense of closeness, and he walked to the opposite side, "Have you seen the old man?"

"See you, you're doing well."

In the distance, the two maids with the paper kite saw that the young master hadn't followed up, turned around and saw him standing under the eaves, as if talking to someone, the two girls' faces turned pale, and there was no one under the eaves in their sight.

"Young master...who are you talking to..."

"not....."

The two maids turned their necks with difficulty, looked at each other tremblingly, and approached carefully a few steps with bitter faces.

"Young master..."

Hearing the maid's soft call, Cui Yu over there turned her face to the two of them and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You... who are you talking to?"

"A big brother." Cui Yu didn't know the age of Lu Liangsheng in front of him, so he raised his little finger to the opposite eaves, "Isn't it?"

But where he pointed, the two maids couldn't see anyone at all, the ground was empty, and he was even more sure that the young master had seen something unclean, and one of them hurried towards the Crescent Gate, probably to call Sir and madam.

"Hey sister, where are you going?"

Cui Yu yelled at the maid who ran away, and when he turned around to talk to the scholar, he found that there was no one under the eaves, only two bags of beautifully packaged snacks were placed there.

"Did you see where that scholar went?"

Behind him, another maid shook her head tremblingly. She only saw the young master talking there. Soon after hearing the news, Cui Rang and Mrs. Liu ran over, picked up the child and looked around Seeing that his son was fine, he was relieved, and scolded the two maids, this matter should not be spread like this.

......

The street outside was sunny. Passing through the bustling long street, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey out of the city gate, and waited for the Taoist outside, soaking in the sunset, slightly lost in thought.

In the compartment of the bookshelf, Taoist Ha looked at the ecstatic apprentice standing over there, and snorted.

'Not to mention caring about the old man. '

Throwing the booklet in his hand aside, toad turned his eyes twice, suddenly clutching his white belly, and lay down on his side with an "ouch", Lu Liangsheng, who heard the movement outside, came back to his senses, squatted down and looked into the small door In the middle of the day, the master rolled on the quilt covering his stomach.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine as a teacher, but my stomach hurts suddenly." Taoist Toad slightly opened his eyes to glance at the apprentice outside the door, and continued to turn in one direction.

Lu Liangsheng smiled when he saw his expression and appearance, and reached out to rub his white belly gently.

"Master, how is this?"

Taoist Toad snorted twice in comfort. The apprentice visited the reincarnation of the old pedant before, and the anger of leaving himself outside was relieved a lot. He smashed his mouth and swayed his frog webs.

"It's alright, it's alright."

One sat up straight, and brought back the discarded volume, "Go out, I still have to finish this "Ancient Scroll Food Remains" as a teacher, um... let the teacher think about it, what other things have you eaten?" ..."

In the voice of the words, Lu Liangsheng shook his head with a smile. Master is now more and more like an old child. His thoughts just now were disturbed, so he stopped thinking about it. After a while, the Taoist came back after buying dry food.

Anxiously put the dry food on the bookshelf, and urged Lu Liangsheng to hurry.

"Hurry up, let's eat enough to go back to Qixia Mountain."

"In such a hurry to go back?"

"Because there are still people waiting..." Sun Yingxian stopped talking, met Lu Liangsheng's gaze, turned his words quickly, and turned his face away.

"This is a matter of my own way, I will not reveal it for now!"

Lu Liangsheng knew what he was thinking, and was about to speak out, when suddenly his body froze, and a sense of warmth swept over his body in an instant, and there were only pedestrians talking and Taoists opening and closing their lips, but no sound came out.

The whole world seemed to be quiet.

However, a voice came from the direction of Chang'an, majestic and upright.

"Imperial seal, Lu Liangsheng in Qixia Mountain, a real man with a demon spirit!"

The robe bulged without wind, and a gust of wind suddenly lifted it away from his side. Sun Yingxian, who was waving at him, seemed to be hit by something, and staggered back with his head covered.

Even the toad in the bookshelf slammed open the small door of the compartment, was pressed back invisible, and stumbled to the gourd behind it.

Just outside the door, there is a thin golden aura surrounding the apprentice who is caressing by his hair and robe.

Taoist Toad stared at Big Toad, and couldn't help but swear.

"My mother... who the hell gave Liang Sheng the imperial seal!!"

Chapter 277 Autumn Leaves Chang'an, Real People See the King

Outside the city gate, the shaft of a chariot rolled across the ground, and amidst the hissing of people and horses, a scholar could be seen standing motionless in front of the old donkey in the distance.

"Old mother Yuer, what are you looking at, I haven't seen anyone!"

"Look again, believe it or not, this big fist of this Dao can kill people!"

After scolding a few good-for-nothings, the Taoist sat back on the stone under the city wall with his sleeves rolled up, looked at the scholar in front of him who was motionless with his eyes closed, and turned his head towards the toad who poked his face out of the cubicle and said:

"Your apprentice has entered meditation again, what's going on?"

"It was sealed by someone."

Taoist Hama didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Once the edict was granted, although the cultivation and status were different, it was also bound to the dynasty, and it might be damaged.

'Hope it's a good thing...'

Lu Liangsheng, who was not far from the door, was in a trance state at this time. The golden autumn sun shone on his body, and he didn't feel anything. After a while, the cicadas suddenly filled his ears, his hearing and consciousness gathered, and the noise around him surged again. come up.

Lu Liangsheng opened his eyes, waved his hand to interrupt the Taoist who wanted to ask questions, and turned his head to look in the direction of Chang'an.
