Clam Pearl

It's a dream, it's really a good dream, it's the happy dream after the rain in a foreign land.

Gu Zhao slowly sat up from the bed, and the soft silk satin poured down from his body in layers, flowing down with the clothes, and Gu Zhao's very healthy black hair.He has known how to take care of himself since he was a child, three walnuts, two jujubes, and a bowl of black sesame paste, which he has not broken for ten years.

Stretching out his fine white and delicate hands, he patted his forehead lightly. Gu Zhao lay on the soft pillow again, closed his eyes, and wanted to go back to his dreams. He tried several times, but unfortunately... he couldn't go back. .He reached out his hand out of habit again, but found a hard jade child's pillow.By the way, that person went to the mountain last night.

Although Gu Zhao and A Run slept on the same bed, the pillows were very different. Sometimes A Run needed to sleep on a jade pillow, and he wanted to keep his hairstyle unchanged. In Gu Zhao's view, this habit was terrible.

Hearing Gu Zhao get up, the eunuch who was serving nearby called softly: "Young Master?"

After a while, Gu Zhao's voice came from the tent: "Well, let's get up."

Soon, two eunuchs lowered their heads, opened the bed curtain, and prepared the things that Gu Zhao used to use, and put them aside. Although they were all porcelain utensils, they couldn't hear the slightest collision. It's like there are three big living people inside.

Outside the house, the sun was already rising. Ah Run did not rest at home yesterday. He would go to Fayuan Temple for two days every month.

After Gu Zhao was familiar with it, he looked back at the eunuch carefully putting away the jade pillow, and couldn't help but think in his heart, going to the temple is always good, but if the monk infiltrated the power of religion into the state religion, it would be bad.In the future, when I look for an opportunity, I still have to think about it. Monks are also human beings, and greed is inevitable. What's more, the great monk has never been pure in six senses.

"Qi Ye, there is an urgent message from Fu Ji." Xizai had been waiting anxiously, so when he heard Qi Ye got up, he hurried in and sent a small bamboo tube inside.

Gu Zhao took the bamboo tube, still in a daze, thinking about something else.

How long has it been since I dreamed of the past, three years?Ever since I met Ah Run, I have never had any old dreams about the past.

Arun asked Gu Zhao before.

Ah Zhao, what wish do you have?As long as you want, I will achieve it for you.

Who has never had a wish? In his previous life, Gu Zhao also had the wish of a small citizen that he yearned for all his life.

A long time ago, he was poor and lonely, but he had a big wish.

He hopes that in a certain New Year, he can go to a place called Vienna to listen to a concert. After one concert, there must be at least five concerts with polkas. This is Gu Zhao's wish for many years in his previous life.

At the age of 20, his salary was 25 yuan, and at the age of 50, he earned [-] yuan.

For his wish, Gu Zhao saved money for many, many years. It was not until his temples had gray hair that he finally saved enough travel expenses and went to Music City, but at the wrong time.When he arrived, he found out that everything had to be booked, tickets, concerts, hotels... and even boxes.

In his previous life, Gu Zhao was so poor. He stood outside the gate of the concert hall and only took a commemorative photo, and found that he had walked for decades, but there was only one wall away from his wish, and he couldn't get past it.He couldn't turn back time and save another chapter of wishes.

Seeing that day by day passed, and the day of returning home was imminent, finally in the morning of the last day, Gu Zhao walked out of the hotel and came to the park.In the park, Gu Zhao met a small band composed of old people. After standing for a while, Gu Zhao took out a bill of the largest denomination he could afford, put it in their piano case and said, Polka.

The old man played the strings, and countless filaments were pulled out of the sky, and the raindrops were connected behind the filaments. In the rain, he listened to all kinds of polkas all morning, all kinds of polkas, only happy polkas.Gu Zhao remembered that he was very happy and contented at that time.Then he had a second desire to share this joy with those closest to him.

It's a pity that there is no such person, not until death.

That day, Ah Run asked him what his wish was.Gu Zhao really wants to say, I want to share my experience with you, the polka in the early morning, but... does Ah Run understand?

He doesn't understand, if you use modern happiness to try to make him understand, that would be even more stupid. Wouldn't Ah Run be innocent under such a request?Therefore, Gu Zhao would never tell Ah Run his wish.

However, that person is a fool. He has been trying to do something for himself for three years, always asking, what do you want, what do you want, what do you want?

I have never seen such a persistent person. Every time Gu Zhao was pushed into a hurry, he would turn around and ignore him, but he still kept talking about this question. He insisted on asking one or two questions. He felt that Ah Run The roots are never by my side, if I don't know what he wants, Gu Zhao may fly away at any time.

Sometimes a fool's instincts are scary.

In the past, they often joked that if Gu Zhao was in a good mood, he would call Ah Run: my emperor.Then, Ah Run was like a silly bird, thinking that he had conquered the whole world.

If he is not happy, he will call him: You are a silly bird for nothing.Then Ah Run will be depressed for a long time, and then a certain minister will fork out.If this unhappiness doubles, then there will be several famous officials who will be forked out by Ah Run for reasons.

In Gu Zhao's view, most of the emperors in history lived the happiest lives, those who prodigal and destroyed the country. No matter what, they were always happy for a few days when they were emperors.

But for an emperor like Ah Run, who has a strong sense of responsibility, a strong desire for power, and who wants to save face and suffer, of course, a little bit of paranoia and sensitivity is also essential.This is very sad...

Naturally, those who live with the emperor are ten times more miserable.

Gu Zhao knows many secrets of Ah Run, for example, he has two green hats!There are four people in the world who know this secret.The former emperor, the current emperor, the empress herself, and herself.How amazing, Gu Zhao knows something that even the queen's father doesn't know.

Gu Zhao also knew that Ah Run was mad at the empress dowager. This matter was guesswork, because Ah Run would apologize, plead, and cry when he had nightmares.

Gu Zhao also knew that before the death of Emperor Tianshou, he died with a smile, and he was not afraid at all. He even smiled and said to Ah Run, brother, I will wait for you up there, and we will see what you say then!Then he died proudly...

Therefore, silly × children are more happy, and they are even hereditary.

Therefore, Ah Run has always had a lump in his heart. He hasn't slept well for nearly two years, and often has nightmares and yells to wake up.He was afraid, he was afraid that after he died, he would see the emperor's brother in the sky. Of course, he also believed that he had a father who was a heavenly father.Then I dare not die, dare not see.

Naturally, Gu Zhao couldn't tell Ah Run, I made it up, it was fake!So I had no choice but to accompany him in nightmares all the time.Every night, every night, first Ah Run yelled, then Gu Zhao was startled and sat up in a cold sweat.

But... Ah Run's problem has been cured recently.Just because Master Huiyi of Biluo Mountain is a magic stick, he said to Ah Run, His Majesty is no longer the Emperor of Heaven. If you go, you will also go to the Buddha Lord Xitian.

Well, that's what happened. Do you think the ancients were so hypocritical?

Since then, Ah Run has to go to the mountain for two days every month to do a monk's meditation.

He is just so hypocritical, he wished his teacher Hu Ji Hu Grand Master to die, he couldn't get rid of his anger, at least he would have to punish his ten clans to get rid of his anger.However, in order to win the hearts of scholars all over the world, he still wants to keep him, and he still invites him to the Shuizawa Hall for an intimate exchange with a smile.At this time, Ah Run will be uncomfortable for a few days, and if he is uncomfortable, the whole family will not be able to feel comfortable either.

Gu Zhao used his 70-year-old brain and Ah Run to move his mind and eyes every day, talk about schemes, make traps, and strive to have a sense of freshness every day... So tired, it's just because he knew it in his previous life... Whoever said that love is easy... Is it open and frank, white and black?Nonsence!

This is a double pit process, right?In the end, it was not known who buried whom.

Gu Zhao didn't know how long he complained in his heart before he slowly opened the bamboo tube, took out a piece of silk, and didn't want to look at it. After seeing it, he really wanted to throw it out, and then he would grow a pair of wings and fly to Wukang. Those bastards need a beating to relieve their anger.

Ten pennies doesn't sound like much, but it was saved between the teeth.For these ten puns, Ah Run suffered for many days and nights.Now, just because of these ten strokes, it is unimaginable that a tragedy of exterminating the family has happened, it is really outrageous!

What do you think can arouse Gu Zhao's anger? Alas, someone put his hand in his wallet. Is there anything in life that can arouse anger more than someone else spending his own money?No!Absolutely not!

The money is small, but there are many innocent souls behind him who can't return home, that is the blood of Wukang Qianding!Now, there are still people who dare to do something on it!Since stretching out his hand is already a serious crime, in order to cover up the crime, he even wiped out all fourteen members of other people's families. Among these dead people, there is actually a parent who was ordered by the court!On Wukang's side, who would have thought that the chaos would be like this.

Gu Zhao was trembling with anger. He had never had the habit of smashing things. After receiving Fu Ji's urgent report today, he finally became angry. Good Yao Bo white porcelain.

But that day, Fu Ji finally found a home, because of Shi Wu's words, he had no choice but to stay in the county for one night, and got up early the next morning to go home.When he got out of the inn, he saw five big cars parked in a row outside the door, and the smiling person standing in front of the car was his new friend Shi Wu Shi Yuanxiu whom he met yesterday.

Fu Ji was a little dazed, he didn't know that Shi Yuanxiu had made such a big noise overnight.

The first cart was loaded with rough and cleaned pork fans, and the second cart was loaded with pig head offal, bones and more than a dozen cages of chickens and ducks.On the third cart were Long Taixing's dim sum wrapped in horse manure paper from Zezhou City.On the fourth cart, there were neatly stacked earth blue and light red coarse cloth. At first glance, there were about fifty of them.As for the last car, there are six big black wine jars, you don't need to look to know what it is.

Seeing Fu Ji coming out, Shi Wu clasped his fists with a smile and said, "Xiao Lang, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you come out? I'm afraid you slept well yesterday. That's right, you've found your roots, so you're safe."

Fu Ji was very moved immediately, and didn't know what to say. His lips trembled, his hands clenched his fists, and finally put down his body and bowed to Shi Wu: "I never thought that my brother would be so considerate for me, little brother." I'm really... ashamed."

Shi Wu saw Fu Ji's eloquence yesterday, although he is not very old, he is a man who really learned from heaven and man, who will carve dragons in the future and is not difficult to rely on horses.He loves her deeply and is willing to have a deep friendship.Therefore, he kept it for a day and lost all his wealth for a year.

Shi Wu is the most happy person, and he doesn't feel distressed after spending the money. Seeing Fu Ji's politeness and elegant posture at this moment, he feels more worthwhile in his heart. Therefore, he hurriedly supported his hands, and said loudly with a smile: "Xiao Lang is so polite, You and I, the Xiangdang, pay so much attention to what to do! The year when Wukang moved out, there were not tens of thousands. If Xiaolang came back like this, it would be the first one! What’s more, you and I were destined to meet each other in the previous life. Destined love.

Hey, brother, I have seen a lot, and I am dissatisfied with Xiaolang. Shi Mou respects people who know how to read and write, and understand reason. It is a pity that my father urged me. Brother, I am wild and unruly. Who can say anything? If you want to die or live, you really can't read it anymore.Yesterday I saw Xiao Lang talking eloquently, talking about the past and the present, I was envious, and I really hated myself for not being up to date. I really missed two books that day, and now I am a handyman in a small county, earning a living with food and clothing.Xiao Lang, you and I are destined, if you don't dislike it...how about taking advantage of the daylight and the rising sun to form brothers of the opposite sex? "

Fu Ji was stunned for a moment, then readily agreed.

That Shi Wu's subordinates were very clever, so they soon borrowed the incense table of the Lord Chenghuang from the Town God's Temple, took ready-made pig head dim sum in the courtyard of the Town God's Temple, put high incense on it, and were ready to stop in a while.

Shi Wu and Fu Ji came to the temple together, swore together at the incense table, cut off their fingers, drank blood wine, and made a poisonous oath, so they became friends of eight worshippers, brothers who lived and died together.

After kowtowing, the two of them stood up, and after a hearty smile, Fu Ji took out a crystal clear jade tablet from his side and held it to Shi Wudao: "Brother, this jade tablet was originally given by my mentor, and I will give it to you today." Elder brother, it will be a keepsake for you and me. If you have something to do in the future, just send a letter and send it with this card to Xiuyeli near the west city of Shangjing, and the Fufu will do it. Brother, but I have entrusted you, and I will not bear it."

Shi Wu was overjoyed, he took the jade tablet and felt that it was extraordinary, because it was already worth a lot just by looking at it.He is usually bold, and the money in his hand comes and goes quickly, so he touched it awkwardly in his hand. In desperation, he took off the tassel on the saber, scratched the back of his head and handed it to Fu Ji with a laugh: "Brother, don't blame it!" , my brother is a vulgar person, I don't have any elegant things around me, this...you take it! There will be something in the future, and with thousands of mountains and rivers, my brother will never let me down!"

Fu Ji took it with a smile, and carefully put it in his arms.

The righteous brother left Chenghuang Temple in a good mood, and went on foot and followed the mule cart to Fu Ji's hometown, Geda.

Since ancient times, the road in Wukang has been difficult to walk. As they walked and chatted, their words became more and more speculative. Seeing that it was getting dark, they randomly lit a fire on the side of the road to keep warm while talking nonsense.Fu Ji has a lot of knowledge, and most of the stories he talks about are wild and interesting in Shangjing. He knew that Shi Wu didn't like to hear things related to poetry and prose, so he talked about Gu's Wumen in Shangjing. Unlimited longing.I just wish I was born in Gu's family, so that I can live my life happily.

That Shi Wu also gossips about Wukang's countryside, but when it comes to Ding Min's affairs, he is full of resentment.He was originally a passionate young man in ancient times, and he was filled with righteous indignation, especially in the past few years, when new children were born in the countryside, they no longer registered for household registration, and some boys were raised as girls, and they were kept at home without giving birth. go out.

What he said caught Fu Ji's attention, so he asked a few more questions.

Shi Wu has an official status now, so many people who moved inside talked about it, and even opened their mouths. He saw that the driver over there was not paying attention, so he whispered about the recent comfort money.Now the superiors only gave Guantong money, those Dingmin were already miserable, wouldn't this add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse?I'm afraid that if this continues, the civil chaos will not be long.

Fu Ji was startled when he heard that, he knew about the comfort money, when it was issued by the household department, it was ten guan, how could it be in Ding Min's hands that there was only [-] guan left?

Seeing that he was concerned, Shi Wu said, "It's always been a lot. I heard that the neighboring county only pays five hundred yuan! Brother, why do you care about this?"

Fu Ji thought for a while, and then said to Shi Wu: "Don't dare to lie to my brother. My younger brother was moved out that day. When he left his hometown, he knew that he would never return in this life. Sure enough, after a year of walking, he fell into the Huai Mountains and almost starved to death.

Fortunately, I met my benefactor, and I was able to survive until now.Brother doesn't know, but my savior is the most righteous person, who hides the world, smiles and lies like a top-ranking person from ancient to modern times.Now he is also in charge of a lot in Shangjing, it just so happens that it is related to Ding Min.Now Ukang Dingmin, each household has ten guans of comfort money, but it was also won by my benefactor with the help of them.

Some time ago, the younger brother returned home, and before leaving, the benefactor also asked the younger brother to investigate secretly.He said that there are 36 counties in the world today, and Wukang is the only place in the world today. Therefore, if there is something wrong, please write it down, and you can solve it properly when you go back someday.If it was true as what my brother said, Ding Min only had five hundred coins in his hand, it must be a treacherous crafty who cheated the court's comfort money.This matter is no small matter, I will tell my benefactor when I go back, so that I can be the master of Wukang Dingmin, and it is not in vain for me to entrust my life here and be a chapter of Wukang people. I can’t even find it in my family, and I don’t have evidence at hand, so it’s hard here..."

When Shi Wu heard Fu Ji's explanation, he patted his chest as soon as his head became hot, and said to Fu Ji, "What's the problem? It's about my Wukang people's business. Brother Yu has no excuses! When I go back tomorrow, I will do it for you." Inquire with my old father, and send those boys to secretly search for him in private. Whoever he is, don’t hide it from my eyes! Don’t worry, brother, you go back today, just feel at ease and reunite with your family. If I get permission in the future Believe me, get the proof, I will tell you."

Fu Ji was very grateful.
