Great Sui Guoshi

Over there, Lu Liangsheng set up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and came out to talk to the somewhat confused Mr. Lu. The sun was shining all over the foot of the mountain, and Li Jinhua went to cook in the kitchen.

A group of villagers surrounded the courtyard looked at the time, and then left one after another. Lu Laoshi walked to the gate of the courtyard, and waved to those who left with a flushed face.

"Come and sit at home when you have time."

After the people left, he walked back satisfied. There was a capable person in the family, and Lu Laoshi, who had been honest all his life, said all he could say in his life today, and he felt very comfortable.

Back in the courtyard, only Sun Yingxian, her daughter, and that black man named Lao Zhu were left to help move the stool.

"Xiaoxian, where's your brother?"

The girl hugged the bench and put it under the eaves, and moved her mouth towards the kitchen: "I went inside to talk to mother, what can daddy do? Just call me!"

On the side, the Taoist quickly raised his hand: "This way is also possible!"

"It's okay, just ask."

Lu Laoshi glanced at the stove, saw his wife cooking with a spatula, and his son lighting a fire in the opposite stove, he laughed a few times, waved to Taoist and Xiaoxian, and went to the donkey shed to pull out the frame that he hadn't made for a long time , moved his buttocks, sat on the straw next to the old donkey, and continued to ping-pong, which made Liangsheng's old donkey think it was noisy. Unsteadily, he walked out of the hospital for a stroll.

bang bang bang.....

The kitchen knife was chopped quickly on the chopping board. In the stove, the flame came out of the stove, illuminating the scholar's face, and passed into a few dead branches. Lu Liangsheng patted the dust on his hands, and raised his eyes to look at the woman opposite.

With a joking tone, he asked, "Mom, what name did you guys name me when I was young? Why did you change it later?"

"If you're as meek as your father, what else can you call him?"

Li Jinhua shoveled a few shovels, put the meat in the pot into a plate, scooped water to wash the stove pot, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "The names of your eight uncles are just good, they are hope, joy, and celebration together. , Speed, Lai, Qi, Xia, Shan, your father can't do it, I have to get you two stones..."

The corner of Lu Liangsheng's mouth twitched.

"Lu Ershi?"

"No, he said he is the old stone, and you are the second stone..." Thinking of this incident, Li Jinhua became angry, with her hips on her hips, and the spatula in her hand banged on the side of the pot Twice.

"If my mother hadn't just given birth to you and was weak, she would have beaten your father up. When you were full term, I would have carried you back to her mother's house, and your father would have chased after you..."

When the woman said this, her anger disappeared, but with a smile on her lips, she continued to wash the pot, mix water, and serve the dishes: "...he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his mouth was stupid, old lady He went down the steps, and I don’t know what to say, but I arrived at the Jizi at the foot of the mountain...It’s a coincidence that I met a wandering old Taoist priest at that time, and called my father and me live."

At the mouth of the stove, flames were burning, and sparks bounced out. Lu Liangsheng held a fire stick in his hand, and listened carefully to what his mother told about the past. Did not tell him.

Although it sounds a bit strange at the moment, Lu Liangsheng always felt that there was something wrong. Seeing his mother stirring the soup pot, he didn't continue talking, and urged him.

"Mom, what's going on behind?"

"Back? The old Taoist priest in the back gave you your current name." Li Jinhua put down the spatula and leaned against the stove, tilting her head and thinking carefully for a while.

"It's been too long, there are some, I don't remember, I only know that the old Taoist said that you are a sign of prosperity in heaven and earth. You have heaven in your name, and you are easy to be taken away by God, and you are easy to be called away by Empress Houtu, so I just took something in the middle...Mother doesn’t remember, but I just remember what the old Taoist said, life is precious and famous, so I took a good life. At that time, your father and I thought it was easy to remember and easy to say, so we didn’t think about anything else. I agree, tsk tsk..."

Li Jinhua sighed twice, picked up the spatula to scoop up the cooked vegetables again.

"Unexpectedly, he really hit the mark. My son is indeed expected to be a high-ranking official."

Opposite the stove, Lu Liangsheng didn't care about his mother's intoxication of "predicting things like a god", and his slightly frowning brows became tighter. From what he heard, the Taoist priest obviously came here on purpose, but his parents, and even generations of Lu Family Village The generation is either a hunter or a poor farmer, and there is no treasure handed down from generation to generation, so why come here to name him?

While thinking about it, a slender figure from outside the fence came in in the yard outside, the Taoist stopped playing with Xiaoxian, laughed obscenely, and shouted towards the kitchen.

"Scholar Lu, your wife is looking for you."

Nie Honglian, who was so provoked to walk into the eaves, turned her pretty face and gave him a vicious look, but the corner of her mouth was pursed into a smile, which sounded quite pleasing to her ears.

Turning around and walking to the stove, Lu Liangsheng seemed to have heard nothing, staring at the stove that was about to go out, dazed in a daze.

"Sir?"

Ok?

Hearing the soft voice, Lu Liangsheng came back from his thoughts, and the woman in the white dress with lotus pattern on the edge of the cloud came over there, squatted aside, with pear dimples on her cheeks, smiled sweetly, and stood beside him again called out.

"Son!"

"I heard..." Lu Liangsheng laughed, reached out to hold the woman's hand, and put it on his knee, "When did you come here?"

Feeling the warmth from the big hand, Hong Lian lowered her head, leaned closer to the scholar, and said softly:

"Come here early, young master has been sitting here blankly, what are you thinking?"

"I miss you."

Lu Liangsheng said casually, causing Hong Lian to raise his face in a daze, and shyly turned his face to one side, the words between his red lips were as thin as the sound of mosquitoes.

"Young master, why would you say these words..."

Cough!

At the door of the stove, the Taoist leaned against the door at some point, while Lu Xiaoxian hid aside, showing a grinning face.

"Brother...you still say these things, but, have you seen Mother's face? You're burnt out."

Uh......

In the stove, the fire passed in before had been exhausted long ago, and the woman on the opposite side was holding the spatula, squinting her eyes and staring at it, knocking on the side of the pot.

"Take Hong Lian and go outside, that little grandson, come over and light the fire!"

Watching Lu Liangsheng lead Hong Lian to go outside, the Taoist bravely sat down on the small stool, looked at the lit sparks inside, subconsciously took out a fire talisman, was glared at by Li Jinhua, and put it back into his arms resentfully.

Laughing loudly, Lu Xiaoxian went back to the room, took out a pair of shoe soles that he bought not long ago, and kicked the hen in front of him and behind him, clucking and flapping his wings, and landed on the side of the water tank, lying on his stomach. Taoist Toad, who was drinking water by the tank, was startled by the sudden movement, almost fell into the tank, jumped up reflexively, turned around, stood on one foot, and raised his webbed horizontally.

The bean-sized toad's eyes quickly looked around, and saw below, the gray hen stood on one foot, spread its wings, and its feathers stood up one by one.

giggling...

The rooster crowed twice, rushed over with a swish, and started a protracted battle with this big toad.

As the sun sets, the rolling hills are bathed in red rays.

Lu Liangsheng led Hong Lian and walked on the field path outside the village, watching the old donkey not far away with its bald tail, strolling leisurely with a green donkey, and talking softly.

Chapter 472 The Clever Hong Lian

"I'm coming back this time, I won't be able to stay for a few days, maybe I'll leave tomorrow."

In the last ray of sunlight that fell to the top of the mountain, Lu Liangsheng, who was walking on the ridge of the field, looked back at the old donkey, felt the little hand he was holding, tightened a bit, turned his head, and looked at the woman behind him.

"When I came back this time, I was invited by the emperor to drive out the Taoist cultivators who caused chaos in Fulin Prefecture. You also know it."

Nie Honglian followed behind, raised her other hand, and pointed at herself, feeling a little puzzled.

"I also know the concubine?"

Ha ha.

Lu Liangsheng chuckled twice, nodded, walked ahead, turned to the direction of the village, thought of Chen Jing, Chen Fu and his master and apprentice, and sighed.

While walking, he talked to Hong Lian about what the two of them had done.

"Actually speaking, there is nothing wrong with Chen Fu and Chen Jing's masters and apprentices wanting to restore the country. However, the world has experienced more than 300 years of war and reunification, and the people have finally found peace. When the war resumes, the people in the south will suffer again. Labor, none of them are light..."

Listening to the son's easy words, Hong Lian knew his difficulty in his heart with only the word 'Chen Jing'.

"Young master, what happened next?"

"I injured his master, he was either dead or injured... It is estimated that it is difficult to achieve success in this life."

Lu Liangsheng's tone was calm, and when he saw Hong Lian looking at him with some worry, he smiled, held the woman's hand, tightened it, then let it go, and turned his back, his eyes became calm, looking at the pieces of land in the sun. The yellowing farmland, the swaying green of the distant mountains.

"...Chen Jing and I met very early. At that time, he was only six or seven years old. He was active and playful, but he was not a bad person. When I came here, I also thought about how to face it, but If you really match up, you can only fight each other. Hong Lian, look at the acres of fertile land and the roads of countless travelers and traders. If there is a war, there will be nothing. With a weapon on his back, Zhuang will set foot on this once busy mountain road. Many people here may die in a foreign land, and they will not even be able to return their bodies.”

"This small road was walked with me by my benefactor, Mr. Shu Hua. He told me the comparison between cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal and being an official in Fuze's neighbors. Neither he nor I convinced the other party, but now that I think about it carefully, in fact It's all the same way..."

Insects chirped in the field one after another. After walking on the dirt road leading to the entrance of the village, Hong Lian leaned on Lu Liangsheng's arm and listened quietly. It seemed that Lu Liangsheng hadn't said so much for a long time, and he probably felt that only in front of her could he let go. You have to open up a bit, and you can say whatever is on your mind.

"That's right, son."

Fast-forwarding to the village, Hong Lian suddenly remembered the Hong Mang mentioned briefly in the previous conversation, "What do you mean the Hong Mang with its tail?"

As he spoke, he raised his face and looked up at the sky suspiciously. In the red and hazy sky, there was nothing beyond the clouds.

On the side, Lu Liangsheng looked at the thing with a red tail in the sky, hugged Hong Lian's shoulders, smelled the soothing fragrance on the black hair, the corners of his lips were drawn, showing a slight smile.

"You can't see...Maybe after I became the Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty, I was connected with the luck of the dynasty, so I saw that guy. I just don't know if other cultivators can see it after flying to this world. In case you can't see it."

"Hehe..." He laughed lightly before he said:

"...I'm afraid I can only find out by myself."

Walking into the entrance of the village, the village women who were wearing shoes and weaving linen clothes, and the children after school all greeted this way. In just half an hour, the news that Lu Liangsheng became a national teacher had already spread between the two villages. I am afraid it will not be long. Through the mouth of the merchants, it was spread to the city, and the county magistrates in Fushui County would all come.

That was a very long-faced thing. Seeing Liangsheng walking with the God of Red Pity in the temple, naturally he would not step forward to disturb him. The villagers have known about these things for a long time, but they just didn't say it to the outside world.

Otherwise, those people would have to be shocked from ear to ear.

.......

Walking through the dam, Hong Lian listened silently all the way, and was about to turn to the alley of the small courtyard, when she stopped suddenly, broke free from the scholar's hand, and stared at Lu Liangsheng without blinking. look back.

"what happened?"

"Young master, just now you said that you are connected with the luck of the dynasty, so you can see..." Hong Lian thought of a way to help the scholar, and excitedly waved Su Bai's little hand, "Have you tried it for Daoist Sun? And Master Toad and the rest? Even if Master Ha is not good, but you still have so many like-minded friends, won’t you be able to see that thing called Yun Hou?”

Lu Liangsheng stood there stunned. He didn't expect this method. Although he didn't know if it would work, he could give it a try.

'A hundred secrets and a sparse one...'

"Sir?"

Hong Lian's small white hands shook in front of him, Lu Liangsheng came back to his senses, hugged the woman, and picked her up. Hong Lian had no body, his body was lifted up as light as smoke, and turned around twice.

After putting it on the ground, Lu Liangsheng gently scratched her nose.

"Hong Lian, when did you become so smart?"

The woman put her hands behind her back, raised her pretty face slightly, wrinkled the bridge of her nose at him, and hummed softly.

"My concubine has always been very smart, and the young master just found out." She rolled her eyes, dimples appeared on her cheeks, she leaned over, and lay on the scholar's shoulders, her eyes blinked slightly, and her voice was soft.

"Where..... what reward does the young master have?"

Lu Liangsheng thought about this method, and nodded when he heard the word 'reward'.

"Reward! Definitely reward! I will give you a few more sticks of incense tomorrow!"

Seeing the young master smiling and turning around to walk to the courtyard gate, Nie Honglian puffed up her cheeks, stamped her feet a few times angrily, saw the scholar entered the courtyard, brushed off her long sleeves, and quickly followed with lotus steps.

As night fell, Li Jinhua stood under the eaves and roared.

Just like in the past, Taoist and Zhu Ganglu sneaked down from the attic, and when they saw Lu Xiaoxian, they went into the kitchen to help with serious expressions. follow in.

The oil lamp in the kitchen room was lit, and the rice was served in a secluded place. Hong Lian's bowl was floating in the air, and Taoist Toad was sitting under the oil lamp, staring at the dishes on the table. Going under the stove, the hen with its wings folded is looking at it viciously.

The wind squeezed through the gap in the door, and in the dim lights, a group of people crowded the kitchen to the brim. Hong Lian sang a song for Lu Liangsheng, which attracted Li Jinhua and Lu Laoshi to applaud. As everyone listened to the music, the chopsticks swished up and down several times, picking up vegetables crazily.

After Lu Liangsheng and the others finished listening, they picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and there were some leftovers left on the plate.

"Sun Yingxian!"

Lao Zhu put down the bowls and chopsticks heavily, rolled up his cuffs, howled dryly, and rushed over. Lao Sun hurriedly took the porcelain bowl with high piles of vegetables, quickly scraped into his mouth, and rushed out of the door.

"Liangsheng! Kill this little Taoist priest!! The old man's meal..."

Taoist Toad put down the small red rooster bowl, stood on Lu Liangsheng's shoulder and roared, even Li Jinhua and Lu Xiaoxian took the broom and fire stick behind the door and chased after him, waving the broom heads and chasing the Taoist all over the courtyard.

All of a sudden, the small courtyard was bustling with noise, and the dogs in the whole village were startled and barked wildly.

Not long after, the Taoist squatted in front of the stove with his broom in his hand, his mouth shrunken and his head bowed, not daring to move. Li Jinhua re-cooked a few simple dishes before finishing the dinner.

Lu Liangsheng returned to the room, wiped the wick, lit the fire to illuminate the room, Hong Lian followed with a smile, not planning to go back to the temple, the skirt spread out, turned around, got into the painting, and then poked his head out .

"Young master, rest early."

"Sleep later."

After Lu Liangsheng spread the quilt, he put the master, who was holding his fins and puffed up, beside the pillow. While taking off his coat and hanging it at the end of the bed, he talked about the method that Hong Lian said today.

"If it's feasible, if we gather the strength of everyone, we may even know what that red light is and how it came here."

Toad snorted as he hugged his little pillow, turned to put it away, and rubbed it with his frog webs.

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't you know the origin when you take a bite for the teacher? What do you need to do with this god? Go to sleep."

Uncovering the quilt and getting inside, Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and taking off his shoes, could already hear the snoring sound from the master.

Shake his head.
