I have flowers, do you have pots?

Chapter 21 Up the mountain.

"The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March..."

With the help of Chifeng all the way, the journey went much smoother.Mo Zhi was sitting on the side of the boat, learning poetry with his younger brother with great interest, shaking his head and reciting in earnest.Since Ming listened for a while, he couldn't help but shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Where did March come from? Seeing that the frost has passed, this dish has been beaten by the frost. It's almost the same in Yangzhou in September." .”

"Siming, you are a scholar now, you have to look a little bit better anyway."

Mu Xianyu laughed helplessly, patted him on the back where he was standing still, and reminded in a slightly lowered voice: "Scholars should behave well, and their manners must not be disrespectful——Quickly straighten your back, be careful to let others see joke."

"Young master, or should I say that you are just trying to drive ducks to the shelves—how am I supposed to be that literati? You asked me to chop firewood, carry water, and do errands. Of course, I have nothing to say, but you want me to act like this. Let me tell you, in the eighteen generations of our ancestors, there has not been a single person who can read..."

"Outside, you have to call me Brother Mu."

Looking at the pained look on his servant's face, Mu Xianyu smiled more in his eyes.Corrected a sentence meticulously, then patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "No way, who asked people to track down two masters and one servant? This is already cheap for you. If you talk too much, you can wait until you land. Go and change into a woman's attire, just play the role of his mother Mo Zhi."

Since Ming was so frightened that he shivered, he hurriedly shut his mouth and stopped talking, but rushed to ink desperately to stop winking.These days, under the guidance of the two of them, the little flower demon has more and more ideas. Her brows and eyes curved into a beautiful arc, she nodded vigorously, pulled his sleeve and said seriously: "Sir, that's a good idea." ——I have never had a mother before. Since you are a big brother, then you can be my mother, and I will definitely honor you!"

"No, no, I'd better find your little brother—"

Since Ming waved his hands in a hurry, he couldn't help being slightly startled after saying a word.He leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a slow voice, "Xiao Mozhi, why don't you have a mother? Even a demon should have parents and brothers—otherwise, it would be too much." feel lonely……"

"I don't know how to be a mother - according to the theory of pregnancy and childbirth, I should come out of the belly of a bird. It's just that it left me on the edge of a small rock pool and flew away, and then And never came back."

Mo Zhi frowned slightly and thought about it for a while, then shook his head lightly, and replied seriously with his chin in his hand.Knowing that he couldn't help but hold his forehead, he smiled wryly after a long while and said, "That shouldn't be counted. It should be that bird that ate you who were still seeds... Forget it, if you don't have it, you don't have it, it's nothing special? You and I My little brother doesn’t even have a mother, hasn’t he grown up to this age—we will protect you from now on, so we won’t let you be bullied.”

While reassuring, he patted his chest imposingly, but before he even finished speaking, he was slapped on the top of his head again: "Why are you barking like Mo Zhi? Be honest, if you don’t have a long memory, you can find a way to leave when you get off the boat. It must be much safer for the two of us to go than the current situation.”

"Mo Zhi can't call me if he can. I've never seen such a bully."

Mingming muttered unhappily, but calmed down obediently and stopped talking, lying on the side of the boat and looking at the scenery on both sides of the river in boredom.Mo Zhi looked back and forth, then ran back to his little brother and sat down obediently, picked up the book of poems again, and continued to flip through the pages.

Finally, they got rid of the shadowy pursuit for the time being, and someone took care of them along the way, so they breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.It's just that he arrived in Yangzhou City in such a safe and sound way, but the butler, who was already used to his highness's luck, was not used to it all the way. It was finally unbelievable until the ship entered the port and saw the carriages that had been prepared to greet him from afar. Shaking his head with confidence: "To tell you the truth, the boat did not leak during this journey, and we were not robbed by water bandits. It is really difficult for people to get used to it..."

"I also think that the old man is too lax on the other side—at least he's putting on a show. He actually forced us to cross the Yangtze River and ignored him. He's really impatient."

Mu Xianyu couldn't help but chuckled, but also clasped his fan in deep approval and nodded slightly, leading the two into the carriage that Chifeng had already prepared: "Do you recognize Jinshui Temple? Just send us there."

Chi Feng couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words, and felt that he had grown a lot of respect for these three people: "I know you, I know you, the villain has been running back and forth on this waterway all year round, so he must have heard of the name of Jinshui Temple. But—it is said that this Jinshui Temple is on the Pagoda Mountain, let alone the gate of the temple, even the gate of the mountain is not allowed to pass by. Not to mention that that person will die badly, even the whole city of Yangzhou will be affected, either the heavy rain will seal the city, or there will be a severe drought for no reason..."

"Don't worry—since we want you to go there, we must know what's going on here."

Meeting the cautious look in his eyes, Mu Xianyu just smiled sincerely, and responded unhurriedly: "I have an uncle who is here to clean up. Since I'm here, I might as well go up and see him. You Send us to the foot of the mountain and you can leave on your own, we will stay overnight in the temple, you will pick us up early tomorrow morning, and go to Zhang's house to explore the way, do you remember?"

"Remember it clearly, don't worry, I will be waiting for you at the bottom of this mountain tomorrow morning!"

Chi Feng nodded repeatedly, and ordered the coachman to go all the way to the bottom of Pagoda Mountain, and personally sent the three of them to the mountain gate.After half a step on the stone steps, the novice guarding the mountain immediately stepped forward to stop a few people, folded his palms together and slightly bent down and said, "Several benefactors, Jinshui Temple does not see outsiders, and Pagoda Mountain does not receive visitors from afar, please come back." stop."

"I know the rules of your temple, but I have something important to do here."

Mu Xianyu didn't show any surprise at all, just responded with a smile, and then whispered to the little guy beside him: "Mo Zhi, first lend the fan to you, and return it to you when you get to the temple, okay?" ?”

On the way here, the three of them told Chi Feng that they wanted to change their identities. They were so dizzy with the confusing names of these people along the way, and Chi Feng no longer had the intention to pursue further.Seeing that Mr. Mu took a black folding fan from the young master and handed it to the novice, he wondered what the monk wanted a fan for, but unexpectedly, the little novice's expression changed slightly when he saw the fan.After taking it over for a closer look, he handed it over to another novice and put his palms together respectfully at Mu Xianyu: "It turns out that Mr. Mu is here, please go up the mountain—the abbot explained to us yesterday, But I don't know that the young master came so fast. I have offended you so much just now, so I ask the young master to forgive me."

Seeing that these people could really enter the mountain and temple with the help of a fan, Chi Feng was dumbfounded, and had no doubts about their identities, so he hurried back to prepare for tomorrow's event.The three of them followed the novice monk who led the way up the mountain. Mo Zhi felt better, but he felt itchy and unbearable. After holding back all the way, he finally couldn't help but whispered: "Master—how can that fan work so well? Could it be that you still don't know how to use it?" What kind of friendship do you have with the abbot here?"

"Naturally, there is some friendship. When I was still young, an eminent monk passing by saw that I was so weak——"

Looking at the expressions of curiosity and reverence on the faces of the two, Mu Xianyu also had a smile in his eyes. He coughed lightly and was about to make up a story when the little novice who was walking in front suddenly stood still and turned around: "Master nephew, The abbot is waiting for you in the meditation room in the bamboo forest in front—the abbot has ordered that you can only bring one person in, and we will take care of the rest for you."
